Which type of waves cannot be transmitted through vacuum?
light waves
Can wave energy only be transmiitted through a material medium?
That depends on the type of wave. An electromagnetic wave can be transmitted through a vacuum.
Light waves are a type of transverse wave that can travel through space or a vacuum. This means that unlike other types of waves light waves?

What type of energy transfers occurs even when matter isn't present?
Electromagnetic Energy does not require matter to be transferred...that is why it can travel through the vacuum of space.
What type of wave can't travel through empty space?
While electromagnetic waves can travel though the vacuum of space, we know that mechanical waves like sound or seismic waves cannot travel except through a physical medium.
Which type of waves cannot be transmitted through vacuum?
light waves
You can hear sounds transmitted through air water or steel but not through the empty vacuum of space. What type of wave carries sound?
A pressure wave in a substance- a Primary or P wave. A vacuum is an absence of substance- nothing there to compress.

How can the command centre communicate with the space ship in space if outer space is a vacuum?
They use radio waves which are a type of electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum Ligth is a type of electromagnetic wave and that travels through space from the sun and the stars.
Are microwaves in space?
yes, they are also a type of electromagnetic waves. any EM wave can travel in space as they can pass through vacuum.
What type of thing does not transmit sound?
Sound and vibration are transmitted by matter. So a vacuum will transmit neither.
Light waves are a type of transverse wave that can travel through space or a vacuum. This means that unlike other types of waves light waves?

Radiation is the only type of heat transfer that can occur?
Radiation is the only type of heat transfer that can occur through vacuum (space with no particles).
What type of energy transfers occurs even when matter isn't present?
Electromagnetic Energy does not require matter to be transferred...that is why it can travel through the vacuum of space.

What type of clothing do astronauts need to protect their skin from harmful gases in space?
There are no harmful gases in space. There are no gases. Space is a vacuum. Astronauts wear a pressure suit so that they are not exposed to the vacuum, which could kill them.
What type of medium does sound travel weakest through?
vacuum
