It is possible for an electromagnetic wave to travel through a vacuum?

yes, they can travel.


Describe how sound waves are travel?

Sound waves are caused by vibrations and travel as longitudinal waves which cause by the vibration of the molecules in air (the molecules dont actually move)


Why dont sound waves travel through space?

Sound needs something to carry the waves. This is most commonly air, and there is no air in space.


How do vibrations produce sound waves?

sound waves dont produce vibrations, vibrations are sound waves.


What is the fundamental difference between electromagnetic waves and other waves?

The fundamental difference is that electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to propagate, unlike other waves like sound waves which do require a medium (such as air, water, or solid material). Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum, whereas other waves cannot. Additionally, electromagnetic waves consist of varying electric and magnetic fields oscillating perpendicular to each other, whereas other waves do not exhibit this dual field behavior.


What speed do electromagnetd travel in space?

Electromagnetic waves, including light, can travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, which is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second (186,282 miles per second).


Do sound waves of different frequencies travel at different speeds?

No, light is slowed depending on what medium it travels through. That's why we have the constant ' c ', defined as the speed of light 'in a vacuum'. The actual speed light travels through air, glass, jello, or water, is less than 'c'.


How does light waves travel?

Are sound waves made up of series of crests and troughs?

Yes, sound waves are composed of a series of compressions (crests) and rarefactions (troughs) in the medium through which they travel, such as air. These fluctuations in pressure create the perception of sound when they reach our ears.


Do sound waves travel faster through gases or solids?

Of the three mediums (gas, liquid, and solid) sound waves travel the slowest through gases, faster through liquids, and fastest through solids. This is because longitudinal waves require collisions between particles to transmit energy - in dense materials, the atoms are closer together, leading to more collisions per second, increasing the speed of transmission. Temperature also affects the speed of sound.


Why do waves travel in straight lines?

i dont know this company should answer it for us


How does sound travel from the speaker to the listener?

Sound waves enter your outer ear and travel through a narrow passageway called the earcanal, which leads to your eardrum. Your eardrum vibrates from the incoming sound waves and sends these vibrations to three tiny bones in your middle ear. These bones are called the malleus, incus, and stapes.
