Do longitudinal wave have a medium?

Yes, longitudinal waves require a medium for propagation. This type of wave moves parallel to the direction of the oscillations of the medium particles. Sound waves in air and seismic waves in the Earth are examples of longitudinal waves that require a medium to travel through.


Does a seismic wave need a medium to move?

No


What type of earthquake wave could travel through a vacuum?

Since an earthquake or seismic wave is a pressure or force wave (like sound waves), it requires a material in which to propagate. So, no earthquake waves can travel through a vacuum.


A disturbance that travels through a medium as a longitudinal wave is?

A disturbance that travels through a medium as a longitudinal wave is known as a sound wave. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium oscillate parallel to the direction of wave propagation. Sound waves are an example of longitudinal waves as they require a medium, such as air or water, to travel through.


Which type of wave needs a medium?

Mechanical waves, such as sound waves and seismic waves, require a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) to propagate. The medium helps transfer the energy of the wave from one point to another by causing particles of the medium to vibrate.


Wave that does not require a medium?

All waves require a medium.


Which term is defined as any substance through which wave energy?

medium


What are some mechanical wave?

Mechanical wave needs a medium to travel. Examples :- Sound Wave, Seismic Wave etc.


What does a medium seismic wave travel through?

Seismic waves are vibrations generated by an earthquake. They travel along the surface of the Earth and through the earth. They are a type of wave known as a mechanical wave and as such (unlike electromagnetic waves) require a medium through which to travel. Seismic waves can be split into body and surface waves. The body waves can be split into two main types, the P-wave or primary wave which is a compression or longitudinal wave which can travel through solids, liquids and gasses and the S-wave which is a transverse or shear wave and can only travel through solids.


What types of waves require a medium?

Mechanical waves.For example, sound waves, ocean waves, etc.Many waves need a medium to travel: sound waves, water waves, and seismic waves.Electromagnetic waves do not need a medium.


What does a wave require in order to travel?

generally electromagnetic wave does not require any medium while sound waves require a medium (air) for propagation


What type of wave requires a material medium through which to travel?

Mechanical waves, such as sound waves and seismic waves, require a material medium (solid, liquid, or gas) to travel through. These waves propagate by transferring energy from one particle to the next within the medium.
