Electromagnetic waves will travel with the same speed that light travels in that medium. Be careful though, the speed of light in vacuum or air is 300000 Km/s. That doesn't mean that in any medium it would be this. It depends on the nature of the medium. In any case, the first statement ALWAYS holds.

Which of the following distinguishes electromagnetic from mechanical waves?
They don't require a medium to travel through. - apex ....what a wanker
In what ways can energy travel through empty space?
Electromagnetic waves, such as infrared and visible light
Do electromagnetic waves all travel at the same speed through space?
Through a vacuum ... yes. Through outer space, which is not quite a vacuum ... not quite, but very very close.
Is light a mechanical wave or electromagnetic wave?
Light is an electromagnetic wave. It consists of electric and magnetic fields that oscillate perpendicular to each other and to the direction of the wave's propagation. This is in contrast to mechanical waves, like sound waves, which require a medium to travel through.
What are waves that travel through space at the speed of light called?
All electromagnetic waves travel through space at the "speed of light". Light is one form of electromagnetic waves.
Does light travel through electromagnetic waves?
Yes, light is made up of electromagnetic waves. These waves travel in straight lines and do not require a medium for propagation. They can travel through a vacuum as well as through some materials, such as air and glass.
What form of energy can travel through space at the speed of light?
(a) Electromagnetic waves; that includes light. (b) Gravity waves.
Is light an example of mechanical wave?
No. Light is an example of an electromagnetic wave, which can travel through a vacuum. Mechanical waves must travel through a medium, and cannot travel through a vacuum.
What can light travel threough?
Light is an electromagnetic radiation that travel through air, vacuum, glass, plastics, ,,,
Can electromagnetic spectrum waves travel through space?
Yes! that's how light from the sun gets to the Earth. Electromagnetic do not require a medium to travel through, they can even travel through a complete vacuum.
How does the sun' energy travel to the earth?
Electromagnetic radiation... i.e., light. Electromagnetic Waves A+
Does light travels through vacuum by radiation?
Yes, light can travel through a vacuum via electromagnetic radiation. In a vacuum, light does not need a medium to propagate because it consists of electromagnetic waves that can travel through empty space.
What wave doesnt require a medium to travel through?
Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to travel through. They can travel through a vacuum because they consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields. Examples of electromagnetic waves include light, radio waves, and X-rays.
What wave require a medium to travel through?
electromagnetic. for example, light.
Can electormagnetic waves travel through a vacuum?
Yes, electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum because they do not require a medium to propagate. Examples of electromagnetic waves that can travel through a vacuum include visible light, radio waves, and X-rays.
