What else can I help you with?
Does waves need a medium to travel through?
No. Electromagnetic waves travel through vacuum ( ie space where there is nothing)
Does sound travel outside the earths atmosphere in space?
No. Sound is simply vibrations of particles that travel in a sort of "wave" motion. Since there is no medium (particles of matter) in space, it is not possible for there to be sound.Sound waves require a medium to travel through. They travel by knocking particles into other particles, causing a vibration to be transmitted.As outer-space is a vacuum, there is no matter present; this means that there is no medium for sound waves to travel through. Therefore, sound cannot travel in space.
How does a satellites move in space when its vacuum?
well space is like a vacuum you cant escape it and sound wave do not travel in space but space isn't literally a vacuum so they move by rockets and the gravity of earth
Is it true that different kinds of E-M waves travel through space at different speeds?
No. All E-M waves travel through space at the same speed, known as the"Speed of Light".
Is A microwave signal is sent through space in the form of optical waves?
Microwave signals are being sent through space through electromagnetic waves and not through optical waves. This type of signal is being used mainly in communications because of its narrower beams compared to other signals.
How Do Electromagnetic Waves Work?
Electromagnetic waves are waves which can travel through the vacuum of outer space.
What is a 'vacuum' in electromagnetic waves terms?
In electromagnetic waves terms, a vacuum refers to a region of space that contains no matter and has no medium for the waves to propagate through. Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum because they do not require a medium for transmission.
Do electromagnetic waves travel through empty space?
Yes, electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space. This is because they do not require a medium to propagate, unlike sound waves which need a medium (such as air) to travel through. Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum, allowing them to move through space.
Is it true that unlike mechanical waves electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum such as you would find in space?
Yes, it is true. Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to travel through, so they can propagate through a vacuum like space. This is due to the fact that electromagnetic waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that can self-propagate.
Does light travels through vacuum by radiation?
Yes, light can travel through a vacuum via electromagnetic radiation. In a vacuum, light does not need a medium to propagate because it consists of electromagnetic waves that can travel through empty space.
Does electromagnetic energy need something to travel through?
No, electromagnetic energy can travel through a vacuum. It propagates through space as electric and magnetic fields that oscillate in a perpendicular fashion.
Do electromagnetic waves all travel at the same speed through space?
Through a vacuum ... yes. Through outer space, which is not quite a vacuum ... not quite, but very very close.
Can electromagnetic spectrum waves travel through space?
Yes! that's how light from the sun gets to the Earth. Electromagnetic do not require a medium to travel through, they can even travel through a complete vacuum.
What form of of energy energy can travel through a vacuum in space?
Electromagnetic energy, such as light and other forms of radiation, can travel through a vacuum in space due to its ability to propagate without a medium.
Can electromagnetic waves travel through matter through a vacuum?
Electromagnetic waves such as light can pass through material medium such as water, glass etc and at the same time it could pass through vacuum ie a medium of free space.
Do electromagnetic waves carry energy or travel through empty space?
Those two descriptions are not mutually exclusive, and in fact, electromagnetic waves do both.
Why can electromagnetic radiation travel through empty space?
Electromagnetic radiation can travel through empty space because it does not require a medium for propagation. It consists of electric and magnetic fields that can exist and propagate in a vacuum. This is a fundamental property of electromagnetic waves as described by Maxwell's equations.
