I assume you want to know why communication in space uses only radio. The reason is that there is nothing else.
Sound cannot travel through a vacuum, as it requires a fluid medium (or even solid) such as air or water. The vacuum of space has no air or water.
It is possible to use wired systems if there is any way to string the wires.
What else can I help you with?
What travels only through matter light waves sound waves or radio waves?
Sound waves can only travel through matter, as they require a medium to propagate. Light waves and radio waves can travel through both matter and empty space.
What type of wave can move through space?
Light waves do, but sound waves cannot, because in space is no medium to carry the vibration. Radio, TV and others can travel in space also.
Can ultrasonic waves be polarised?
No, ultrasonic waves cannot be polarized because they are mechanical waves that oscillate in a direction perpendicular to their direction of propagation. Polarization only applies to electromagnetic waves.
Which is the only type of energy transfer that can traverse through empty space?
Electromagnetic waves can traverse through empty space. Heat is transferred right from Sun to earth only through empty space
Can only transverse waves form standing waves?
No, both transverse and longitudinal waves can form standing waves under certain conditions. Transverse waves oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, while longitudinal waves oscillate parallel to the direction of wave propagation. Standing waves form when incident waves interfere with reflected waves in such a way that specific points along the wave remain stationary.
What travels only through matter light waves sound waves or radio waves?
Sound waves can only travel through matter, as they require a medium to propagate. Light waves and radio waves can travel through both matter and empty space.
What is the only kind of wave that does not need a solid liquid or gas medium to pass through?
The only kind of wave that does not require a medium to pass through is an electromagnetic wave. These waves can travel through empty space and do not need a material medium for propagation. Examples of electromagnetic waves include light waves, radio waves, and X-rays.
Which waves can go through a vacuum?
Electromagnetic waves are the only form of energy that does not need a medium for propagation.
Is propagation of sound waves is SHM?
No. Only the movement of the individual particles is SHM.
What type of wave can move through space?
Light waves do, but sound waves cannot, because in space is no medium to carry the vibration. Radio, TV and others can travel in space also.
Is radio waves made up of many different types of electromagnetic radiation?
No. Only of radio waves.
Can ultrasonic waves be polarised?
No, ultrasonic waves cannot be polarized because they are mechanical waves that oscillate in a direction perpendicular to their direction of propagation. Polarization only applies to electromagnetic waves.
How does sky propagation differ from line-of-sight propagation?
Electromagnetic waves - radio waves - propagate through the air and vacuum by altering the electro-magnetic (EM) properties of space. They will be reflected whenever the EM properties of the space change. Incoming radiation from the sun partly ionizes some of the air molecules in the upper atmosphere and, for some frequencies, this will reflect (or refract) the EM signal. This allows the EM signal to be reflected over long distances - even around the world - multiple hops. This effect is only true for HF radio - frequencies up to 10MHz or so. And varies naturally, day and night. A related phenomenon affecting the upper atmosphere, is that incoming meteorites may give temporary ionization tracks. These have been used for burst transmissions but are not suitable for broadcast communications. Higher frequencies, 100 MHz or so, use line - of - sight transmission, for these high frequencies are not affected by the ionized layers.
Which is the only type of energy transfer that can traverse through empty space?
Electromagnetic waves can traverse through empty space. Heat is transferred right from Sun to earth only through empty space
Can only transverse waves form standing waves?
No, both transverse and longitudinal waves can form standing waves under certain conditions. Transverse waves oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, while longitudinal waves oscillate parallel to the direction of wave propagation. Standing waves form when incident waves interfere with reflected waves in such a way that specific points along the wave remain stationary.
What is difference between compression waves and shear waves?
Compression waves, also known as longitudinal waves, involve particles oscillating parallel to the direction of wave propagation. Shear waves, on the other hand, involve particles moving perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Compression waves can travel through both solids and fluids, while shear waves can only propagate through solids.
Are sound waves transvers or longitudnal?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, which means that the particles in the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave's propagation. This is in contrast to transverse waves, where the particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation.
