A type of energy that travels as a wave but does not require a medium through which to travel?
Light energy.
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.
A type of wave that travels only in matter?
the only wave type that can travel through matter is sound. sound waves cause vibrations in the material, which means that the waves move faster the closer the atoms in the component are to each other. for example, water is denser then air, so sound will travel through the water faster than the air.
What is the relationship between the movement of the wave and the movement of the particles of the medium?
The dispersion relationship depends on the medium through which the waves propagate and on the type of waves (for instance electromagnetic, sound or water waves). For sound waves, the denser a medium is, the faster the waves will travel as particles will be closer together and thus energy can be transferred among them at a greater rate.
Can s-waves travel through liquid?
P-waves are type of elastic wave, also called seismic waves, that can travel through gases (such as sounds), elastic solids and liquids, including the Earth. P-waves can be produced by earthquakes and recorded by seismometers. The name P-wave stands for primary wave, as the P-wave is the fastest among the elastic waves, compared to the S-waves.(Sources Wikipedia). Hope that helps! :D
Can mechanical waves travel through any type of medium?
Yes, except vacuum. Only Electromagnetic waves can travel through vacuum.
What type of wave requires no medium to travel through?
Waves need not require medium to travel through. Only Mechanical waves like sound waves require medium to travel through. Electromagnetic waves travel in vaccum like light waves. Some waves transmitted in a medium due to disturbances in the medium .
What type of medium does sound travel weakest through?
vacuum
What type of medium does an ocean wave travel through?
Water
What type of medium is required by radio waves?
radio waves do not require a medium to travel,it can even travel through vaccum
What type of wave does need medium to travel?
any wave of energy except for electromagnetic waves need a medium to travel through.
What type of vibration does not need a medium through which to travel?
Electromagnetic waves.
What type of wave can transfer energy without medium?
the wave which does not travel through a medium is called electromagnetic wave.
What type of matter do sound travel faster through?
rarer medium- air
Name a type of wave does not need a medium to travel through?
An electromagnetic wave
What type of wave can travel through a medium?
A mechanical wave (e.g. sound).
A type of energy that travels as a wave but does not require a medium through which to travel?
Light energy.
