Does light waves travel fastest through empty space?
Light waves, like all electromagnetic waves, travel without a medium, so they can travel through empty space. Sound waves, on the other hand, do require a medium to travel or propagate; therefore, they can not travel through empty space.
Name one kind of wave that does not require a medium?
An electromagnetic wave (this includes light) does not require a physical medium - it can travel through empty space.An electromagnetic wave (this includes light) does not require a physical medium - it can travel through empty space.An electromagnetic wave (this includes light) does not require a physical medium - it can travel through empty space.An electromagnetic wave (this includes light) does not require a physical medium - it can travel through empty space.
Light is one type of wave that can travel through empty space to transfer?
yes, electomagnetic
Wave energy can only be transmitted through a material medium (TF)?
Depends what you understand by "material medium". You certainly don't need any matter. Both electromagnetic waves and gravitational waves travel through empty space (and of course, both transmit energy).
How is heat transferred through empty space?
Light energy, like from the sun.
Why cant you get energy from the sun through convection?
Convection travels through matter. It won't travel through empty space.Convection travels through matter. It won't travel through empty space.Convection travels through matter. It won't travel through empty space.Convection travels through matter. It won't travel through empty space.
What can travel either travel through matter or through empty spaces.?
volume
Can travel only through some type of matter .can travel either through matter or through empty space?
One example would be X-Rays. They are stopped by Lead, but travel through other matter and empty space.
What kind of wave is able to travel through both matter and empty space?
A type of wave that can travel through empty space as well as through matter is electromagnetic wave. Light travels fastest in empty spaces.
A wave that can travel through empty space or through matter?
It is an electromagnetic wave.
What does light travel through best empty space or matter?
Light travels fastest through empty space.
Why does light travel faster through empty space than matter?
It doesn't travel faster through a vacuum. In our Universe there is no such thing as empty space.
A wave that travels trough empty space or matter?
Both electromagnetic waves and gravity waves can travel through empty space. Gravity waves travel through matter as well; some electromagnetic waves may travel through some types of matter.
What is the energy that can travel through empty space or through matter?
radiation
Can travel though empty space?
Yes, you can travel through empty space. The Sun, Earth, moon, satellites, space ships, atoms, and subatomic particles all travel through empty space. Greater than 99.999% of matter is empty space.
Which do not travel through empty space?
sound cannot travel through empty space.
Consists of changing electric and magnetic fields and can travel through empty space and matter?
an Electromagnetic Wave
