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 light has a longer wave length ultra violent or infrared?
Ultraviolet has the longer wave length Infrared has the lower wave length
What is the angle between a ray of light and its wave front?
A light ray is always at right angles to its wave front.
What happens to a wave when you decrease the wave height?
it gets smaller and then there is no more energy to make it travel
How far in Light years can a Pulsar travel?
As far as light can travel
What type of wave does light travel as?
A sonic wave.
Will a light wave travel through a vacuum?
Yes. Electromagnetic waves (including light as a special case) are, in fact, the only type of wave which will travel through a vacuum.
What type of wave can travel to space?
im pretty sure shock waves do. and light wave def. do.
Can light wave travel through air?
Yes ,....... light wave can travel through the air ... the light wave does not require any medium.
What kind of wave does light travel as?
Light is an electromagnetic wave.
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 type of energy that travels as a wave but does not require a medium through which to travel?
Light energy.
Light is one type of wave that can travel through empty space to transfer?
yes, electomagnetic
What type of wave that does not need a medium though which to travel?
An electromagnetic wave does not need a medium through which to travel. This includes light, radio, TV, X-4ay, etc. The wave contains its own medium which is a photon.
Light wave travel faster than gamma wave?
No, they travel at the same speed
Which type of wave travels faster gamma or radio?
The same. Both are electromagnetic waves; in a vacuum, they both travel at the speed of light.
What type of wave does sound travel in?
Longitudinal Wave
