Yes, infrared waves are part of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum and all electromagnetic radiation will propagate through a vacuum.

What wave cannot travel through empty space?
Any wave that requires a physical medium. Audio (sound pressure) waves, water waves, and "amber waves of grain" are all examples of waves that cannot travel through the vacuum of space.
Wave that can travel through an empty space?
what is a form of energy that travels as waves through the air and some solids and liquids call?
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.
Seismic waves that cannot travel through liquids?
Shear Waves (S Waves) cannot travel through liquid
Electromagnetic waves can travel through a?
Vacuum
Can gases travel through a vacuum?
No. Only light waves can travel through a vacuum.
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.
Which waves travel through vacuum?
raDIO WaVES
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.
Can mechanical waves travel through any type of medium?
Yes, except vacuum. Only Electromagnetic waves can travel through vacuum.
What are mediums that waves can travel through?
This depends a lot on the type of waves you're talking about. Sound waves, for example, can travel through water, solid, and air mediums, but not through a vacuum. Electromagnetic waves, however, can travel in a vacuum.
Which can travel through a vacuum?
Electromagnetic waves.
Is it true that unlike mechanical waves electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum such as you would find in space?
Correct, electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum. Sunlight is an example of this.
What Waves that can travel through a vacuum?
Electromagnetic waves.
Where do sound waves travel through?
Sound waves travel through matter, whether solid, liquid, or gas. They do not travel through vacuum.
What do shear waves travel through?
Shear waves travel through solids. They cannot travel through liquids and gasses (unlike compressive waves) and they can't travel through a vacuum (unlike electromagnetic waves).
