What wave cannot travel through empty space?
Sound waves cannot travel through empty space because they require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. Unlike electromagnetic waves, like light and radio waves, sound waves need a material medium to transfer energy from one place to another.
Wave that can travel through an empty space?
An electromagnetic wave, such as light or radio waves, can travel through empty space because they do not require a medium to propagate. This is due to their unique properties of electric and magnetic fields oscillating in tandem at right angles to each other.
S waves cannot travel through?
hello
What is the material called that waves travel through?
Any material through which any wave travels is called a medium. Ocean waves travel through the medium of seawater. Sound cannot travel through outer space, because there is no medium there to support sound waves. Mechanical waves such as sound and vibration require a medium through which to travel. Usually air, or a solid or liquid - matter in other words.
What state of matter do P and S waves travel through?
P waves can travel through all types of matter. S waves can only travel through solids.
What type of light waves can travel through a vacuum?
Electromagnetic waves, including visible light, infrared, and ultraviolet radiation, can travel through a vacuum without the need for a medium to propagate.
How is heat transferred through a vacuum?
Only by radiation. Infrared waves waves don't require a material medium to pass through. Heat energy is transmitted even through vacuum in the form of infrared waves. We get heat energy from sun in this way.
Can compressional waves travel through a vacuum?
No, compressional waves require a medium to travel through, so they cannot travel through a vacuum where there is no matter. Sound waves, which are compressional waves, cannot propagate through a vacuum.
How does the speed of radio waves compare with the speed of infrared waves?
Radio waves travel at the speed of light, which is the fastest speed possible in a vacuum. Infrared waves also travel at the speed of light, so both types of waves travel at the same speed.
Can gases travel through a vacuum?
No. Only light waves can travel through a vacuum.
How does the speed of radio waves compare with the speed of infrared waves?
Radio waves travel at the speed of light, which is approximately 300,000 kilometers per second in a vacuum. Infrared waves also travel at the speed of light, so both types of waves travel at the same speed.
Electromagnetic waves can travel through a?
Vacuum
It is possible for an electromagnetic wave to travel through a vacuum?
yes, they can travel.
How heat waves travel through the ozone layer?
Heat waves do not travel through the ozone layer. Some infrared radiation passes through it, but "far infrared" does not. Ozone is a greenhouse gas.
Which can travel through a vacuum?
Electromagnetic waves.
Why can you not hear in a vacuum?
Sound waves require a medium, such as air, to travel through. In a vacuum, there is no medium for the sound waves to travel through, so there is no way for the waves to reach your ears and be processed as sound.
Which wave requires a medium for transmission light radio infrared or sound?
Sound waves require a medium, such as air, water, or solids, for transmission. Light, radio, and infrared waves can travel through a vacuum and do not require a medium for transmission.
