What is 980200000000000 in scientific notation?

95,000,000,000km/ph/lt/yrs is the speed of light. It takes light that long for light to travel to earth in about 1 light year. 95,000,000,000km/ph/lt/yrs is the speed of light. It takes light that long for light to travel to earth in about 1 light year.


What type of wave does not need a medium to travel through?

It is electromagnetic radiation that needs no medium to travel in. Gamma rays, light and radio waves, all forms of electromagnetic radiation, can travel through the vacuum of space very well. In fact, they prefer it.


Does radiation travel any direction?

Yes. Radiation travels in all directions, however, it can be collimated, so as to be coerced into traveling in one direction, but that is not a process of the emitting nuclide.


How is heat transferred through empty space?

Light energy, like from the sun.


What is transfer of energy through space?

An electromagnetic wave is a oscillation through 2 fields, electrical and magnetic fields of the space the wave is travelling through. These oscillations are at right angles to each other. Electromagnetic waves are carried by miniscule particles of energy called photons, Light itself is one of the forms of electromagnetic waves and all EM waves travel at the speed of light 3x10^8 ms or 300 000 000 metres per second. Photons have 0 mass. Nothing with mass can truly have a higher velocity then the speed of light or EM radiation. As they are carried by photons they need no medium to travel through and can therefore travel through space/a vacuum.
