Is this true or false mecanical waves din't need matter to travel through?
False, mechanical waves need a medium to travel through. Electromagnetic waves, such as visible light, don't.
Do all wavelengths travel at same speed in a vacumm and carry the same energy per photon?
False
Is mechanical waves can travel though empty space true or false?
No, mechanical or pressure waves can not travel through empty space
True or false A rarefaction is a region in the medium in which molecules are?
It is false it's called compression
Do visible light waves require a medium?
No, they don't. If they did, then light couldn't pass through a vacuum. It would be very dark here, because the light from the sun, moon and stars could not reach Earth through the vacuum of space.
Do all waves need a medium to travel through true or false?
false
Is this true or false mecanical waves din't need matter to travel through?
False, mechanical waves need a medium to travel through. Electromagnetic waves, such as visible light, don't.
When you pass the digital signal through a transmission medium the output will be a digital signal without any losss?
false
Do all wavelengths travel at same speed in a vacumm and carry the same energy per photon?
False
True or false vibrations can travel through air and water?
Yes. Vibrations can travel through anything except space where there is a vacuum.
Sound energy cannot pass through empty space true or false?
True, sound waves can travel in all three mediums , solids liquids and gases We hear sounds in gas medium. Sonar is an application for sound in liquid. Sound can make solids vibrate upon moving.
Are water waves mechanical waves?
No, Mechanical waves means that the waves require a medium in order to pass through. For instance, sound is a mechanical wave because it requires the air to travel through (or any material -- such as water). Light waves are electromagnetic waves because they produce an oscillating electric/magnetic field as it travels. Also because it requires no medium to travel through, this is why the sun's light may reach us here on earth. (Note: it was previously thought that the medium in space which allowed light to travel through, this was referred to as the ether - this is false, space is a vacuum.)
True or false destructive interference occurs when a through meets with another trough at a given location on the medium?
True
Is mechanical waves can travel though empty space true or false?
No, mechanical or pressure waves can not travel through empty space
True or False Do Ribosomes carry out lipid synthesis?
False. They carry out protein synthesis.
Could Geologists concluded that the outer core was liquid because p waves could not travel through it?
False
True or false A rarefaction is a region in the medium in which molecules are?
It is false it's called compression
