What is a wave that requires a medium wave?
A mechanical wave, such as a sound wave or water wave, requires a medium (substance) to travel through. In a mechanical wave, the energy is transferred through the medium by the vibration of particles.
Name one kind of wave that does not require a medium?
An electromagnetic wave (this includes light) does not require a physical medium - it can travel through empty space.An electromagnetic wave (this includes light) does not require a physical medium - it can travel through empty space.An electromagnetic wave (this includes light) does not require a physical medium - it can travel through empty space.An electromagnetic wave (this includes light) does not require a physical medium - it can travel through empty space.
Which wave requires medium?
Mechanical waves, such as sound waves and water waves, require a medium (substance) to travel through. Electromagnetic waves, like light waves, do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
Does transverse wave require a medium to travel through?
Yes, transverse waves require a medium to travel through. Examples include water waves, which need water as a medium, and electromagnetic waves such as light, which can travel through a vacuum.
Name a type of wave does not need a medium to travel through?
Electromagnetic waves, such as light and radio waves, can travel through a vacuum because they do not require a medium for propagation.
What type of wave requires a material medium through which to travel?
Mechanical waves, such as sound waves and seismic waves, require a material medium (solid, liquid, or gas) to travel through. These waves propagate by transferring energy from one particle to the next within the medium.
What is a periodic disturbance in a solid liquid or gas as energy is transmitted through a medium?
A wave is a periodic disturbance in a solid, liquid, or gas as energy is transmitted through a medium. Waves can be classified as mechanical waves, which require a medium to travel through, or electromagnetic waves, which do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
Which wave require a medium in which to travel?
No.
What type of wave require a medium to travel through?
Mechanical waves, such as sound waves and water waves, require a medium (such as air or water) to travel through because they rely on the vibration of particles in the medium to transport energy. Electromagnetic waves, on the other hand, do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
What waves require a medium and what waves do not?
Mechanical waves require a medium (substance) to travel in, other waves do not. For example, sound is a mechanical wave and require a medium (air, water, etc.), light is not a mechanical wave and does not require a medium
Does an em wave require medium such as air or water to travel through?
No, electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to travel through. They can propagate through a vacuum, which is why light from the sun can reach the Earth through the vacuum of space.
Why are sound waves not considered a mechanical wave?
Mechanical waves are waves that require a medium in which to travel, i.e., a solid or fluid. As sound needs a medium to travel, sound is a mechanical wave.
