light and radio waves are energy themselves, so they are not dependent on "something" being there to travel through as sound is.

the reason that sound cannot pass through a vacuum is because it is a set of energy waves that flow through the molecules of the substance. causing the first molecule to bump into the second, second into the third, third to the fourth and so on.

What evidence do we have that light travel through a vacuum?

You create a vacuum in a lab, and then shine a light through it, and there is experimental proof that light travels through a vacuum. Alternatively, take the fact that light travels through space - if light could not travel through a vacuum, no light from the stars, the moon or the sun would ever reach our planet.

How does meg feel the first time she travels by wrinkling through time?

nothingness. no light. no sound. no sense of sight, or anything else. just...nothingness. after a while, the senses start to return (although I'm assuming the sense of balance was never there during the tesseract) and eventually the place she has traveled to becomes part of the nothingness, taking over the darkness until it is all gone. Sound and sight are back to normal by now, but feeling is a bit off for the first moments.


What evidence is there that light travels very fast?

The evidence begins to emerge when the speed of light is measured. When the light is traveling through vacuum, the result of the measurement is always 299,792,458 meters per second, which always inspires the observer to draw breath and exclaim "That's very fast !"


Can nothingness No matter energy etc Travel faster than light If so how fast?

Think about that question. When you say nothing that means that there is nothing to measure the speed of. And nothing can move faster than light, nothing, There is a fixed amount of speed something can have. As speed increases time slows down and at light speed no time passes therefore it is impossible for anything or "nothing" in your questions case can move faster than light. Then again im only 15 so i could wrong but i am answering to the best of my knowladge.


Who was the first person to prove that light was a wave?

Thomas Young was the first person to offer evidence that light was a wave through his famous double-slit experiment in 1801. This experiment demonstrated light's wave-like behavior through interference patterns.


When light passes through a prism how does the amount of bending of a light wave depend on the frequency of the light wave?

The question completely dissolves into nothingness when we recall that the frequency and wavelength of a wave are inextricably bound to each other. They don't change independently, and if you know one, then you know the other. So the "amount of bending" compared to frequency, and the "amount of bending" compared to wavelength, are necessarily identical.


What behavior of light is evidence for a wave model light?
