Can light wave travel through air?
Yes ,....... light wave can travel through the air ... the light wave does not require any medium.
What wave can travel through space where there is no matter?
A light wave can travel through space. Otherwise, how would sunlight reach the Earth? Also, light does have wave-like structures, and it is made up of particles called photons.
What kind of wave does not need a medium through which to travel?
a light wave?
What kind of wave is light considered?
Light a general term for a specific range of wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum, is not strictly just a wave, it shows particle and wave like properties, hence it being able to travel in a vacuum without a medium. However as a wave light is considered to be a transverse wave.
A wave that travels through a medium?
We know that a mechanical wave requires a medium through which to travel. The source puts the energy into the medium, and it propagates. A sound wave is a good example of this, and we can contrast it with an electromagnetic wave (like light). Light can travel through a vacuum; it doesn't require a medium for its propagation.
What type of wave does light travel as?
A sonic wave.

What kind of wave does light travel as?
Light is an electromagnetic wave.

Light wave travel faster than gamma wave?
No, they travel at the same speed
What is a tudinal wave?
A longitudinal wave is a wave where the local vibrations/diplacements are in the direction of travel (like sound) as opposed to a transverse wave where they are at right angles (eg light).
What kind of wave does not need a medium through which to travel?
a light wave?
How does the light travel in the air?
As an electromagnetic wave.

Is light an example of mechanical wave?
No. Light is an example of an electromagnetic wave, which can travel through a vacuum. Mechanical waves must travel through a medium, and cannot travel through a vacuum.
Does light travel through electromagnetic waves?
Light IS an electromagnetic wave.
