X-rays are a form of gamma radiation. Gamma radiation passes through human tissue with no difficulty. Gamma can only be blocked by an incredibly large mass of solid matter, such as extremely thick lead. Radio waves can be reflected or interfered with by a number of different transition metals. Radio waves have a larger range than gamma radiation because they are broadcasted from a medium rather than a source.

What travels only through matter light waves sound waves or radio waves?

Sound waves can only travel through matter, as they require a medium to propagate. Light waves and radio waves can travel through both matter and empty space.


Waves that do not requir matter to carry energy through space?

Radio waves and light waves.


What is a disturbance that moves through some type of matter or space?

A wave is a disturbance that moves through matter or space by transferring energy without transferring matter. Waves can be classified as mechanical waves, such as sound waves and water waves, or electromagnetic waves, like light and radio waves.


Is radio waves matter or non-matter?

Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic radiation, which is a type of energy. They do not consist of matter but are produced by the acceleration of charged particles.


What does not affect matter as they travel through it.?

Electromagnetic waves do not affect matter as they travel through it. This includes light waves and radio waves, which can pass through materials without interacting with the particles that make up the material.


Do radio waves disturb matter?

Radio waves will disturb matter which is more or less on the order of magnitude of the wavelength of the waves.


Is radio considered matter?

Radio waves are not.


What are disturbances that carry energy through matter?

These disturbances are known as "waves". Examples include compression waves in air or other media (i.e., sound), and electromagnetic waves, which can travel both through matter and through empty space.


What do radio waves propagated through the interaction of?

radio waves are propagated through the interaction of


A wave that can travel through empty space or through matter?

An electromagnetic wave can travel through empty space or through matter. Examples include light, radio waves, and X-rays. These waves do not require a medium for propagation.


What wave can travel though space where there is no matter?

Electromagnetic waves, such as light and radio waves, can travel through the vacuum of space where there is no matter. These waves do not require a medium to propagate, unlike sound waves which require a medium such as air or water.


What type of energy transfers occurs even when matter isn't present?

Electromagnetic Energy does not require matter to be transferred...that is why it can travel through the vacuum of space.
