When waves travel from one point to another energy is transferred through the medium. Waves are periodic vibrations or oscillations in a medium that propagate through the medium carrying energy in the form of the movement. Exceptions to this are light and gravity waves, which do not require a medium for propagation.

Why can't sound travel through a medium?
It Can it needs a medium to travel
Do radio waves need a medium to travel through?
Radiation doesnt need a medium because it travels through space
Why does a sound wave travel through a medium?
waves are easily travel in medium.....
What do electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves have in common?
They can both travel through a medium.
Does light need a medium through which to travel?
No, it does not. It can travel through any open space. Sound, unlike light, needs a medium to travel. So light can travel through outer space but sound cannot because there is no medium.
What is transferred through a medium?
Disturbances that transfer energy, or waves. Mechanical waves must have a medium to travel.
Waves require a medium in order for energy to be transferred. waves can either travel through a medium or through empty space?
E.M. waves require no medium. Sound waves require a medium.
Does sound travel faster through space or room temperature?
Nope, sounds doesn't travel faster on space because a medium is needed a region to another
What factors are necessary for a sound wave to travel through a medium?
well sound actually always needs a medium so it can travel, in space there's is no sound because there isn't a medium it can travel through. but just about anything is a medium for sound. air is also a great medium, that's why were able to hear one another
Is a mechanical wave a sound wave?
Yes, a sound wave is a mechanical wave. Sound waves need a medium (like air) to travel through. The energy of the wave, the mechanical energy, is transferred into the medium through which it is propagated.
Does light have a medium to travel through?
No, apart from "spacetime". But it CAN travel through a medium such as air or glass.

What needs a medium substance to travel through?
Mechanical waves need a medium substance to travel through. Electromagnetic do not.
What do electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves have in common?
They can both travel through a medium.
What can travel through space without a(n) medium?
Electromagnetic waves can travel through space without a medium.
