Yes! Light travels through any material that does not completely absorb it. Visible light can only travel through materials that are called either transparent or translucent. Visible light travels through glass all the time. Visible light also travels through your cornea and the gel-like material that is in your eyeball.
There are other types of light than visible light, such as ultraviolet (UV). UV is light that has more energy than visible light. This is the type of light that can give you a sunburn. There are even more energetic types of light like X-rays. They go through lots of material that visible light can't -- like skin and organs, but they do not go through bones or teeth very well.
What else can I help you with?
Can light travel through air?
yes. if light didn't travel through air, then you wouldn't be able to see anything!
What waves don't need matter to travel through?
Electromagnetic Waves do not require a medium, or matter to move through, to transfer waves. This includes radiowaves, microwaves, infared waves, visible light waves, Ultraviolet waves, X-rays, and gamma rays.
What do light waves travel through?
Electromagnetic. Or you might be looking for transverse.
Can Matter be transported at speed of light?
It depends on how you look at matter. For example, photons are what is known as the particles of light, so imagine light being a stream of particles. These will travel at the speed of light within a vacuum. As of yet we have not achieved, and are nowhere near getting large matter like a person to travel anywhere near that speed.
What is white light and how fast does it travel?
White light is simply a mix of red, green, and blue light. In a vacuum, all light travels at the speed of light (about 300,000 km per second), but it slows down a bit when passing through matter (glass, water, etc.).
How do light waves affect matter?
light waves travel through a matter, such as air water and others
What is an empty space that contains no matter that light can travel through?
A vacuum.
Do all waves travel through matter?
NO some waves like sound require matter to travel whereas light waves can travel in vacuum.
What kind of wave can travel only through matter?
A mechanical wave, such as a sound wave, can only travel through matter because it requires a medium to propagate. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through both matter and empty space.
Can light travel through all states of matter?
Yes, providing the substance is not opaque to the wavelength of the light.
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.
What kinds of energy travel through matter?
Mechanical, thermal, and electromagnetic energy can travel through matter. Mechanical energy involves the movement of objects or particles within a substance. Thermal energy is the movement of heat through matter. Electromagnetic energy, such as light or radio waves, can also pass through various types of material.
Can light travel through outerspace?
Yes, light can travel through outer space because it does not require a medium to propagate. In the vacuum of space, light can travel almost undisturbed for long distances until it interacts with matter.
What is light called when it passes through transparent matter?
When light passes through transparent matter, such as air or glass, it is referred to as transmission. The material allows the light to travel through without significant absorption or reflection.
What can travel either through matter or through emptty space?
Light and other electromagnetic wavesGravity wavesNeutrinos
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.
Which one travels through matter only light or sound?
Sound travels through matter, while light can travel through both matter and empty space. Sound requires a medium, such as air, water, or solids, to propagate, as it relies on molecules colliding to create waves. On the other hand, light can travel through a vacuum as it is composed of electromagnetic waves.
