What do different waves travel through?
Mechanical waves, such as sound waves, travel through a medium like air, water, or solids. Electromagnetic waves, like light and radio waves, can travel through a vacuum because they do not need a medium to propagate.
Which of the following distinguishes electromagnetic from mechanical waves?
They don't require a medium to travel through. - apex ....what a wanker
Light waves differ fundamentally from either water waves or sound waves because?
light waves do not require a medium to travel through, unlike water and sound waves which both need a medium (water and air, respectively). Light waves are electromagnetic in nature and can travel through a vacuum. They have different wave properties such as wavelength, frequency, and speed compared to water and sound waves.
What wave requires a medium?
Mechanical waves, such as sound waves and water waves, require a medium to travel through. These waves rely on the vibration of particles in the medium to carry energy from one place to another. Electromagnetic waves, on the other hand, can travel through a vacuum because they do not require a medium.
Can Seismic waves travel through space?
NO! Seismic waves can't travel through space. They are mechanical waves. Mechanical waves require going through mediums and there isn't a medium in space.
What type of wave happens in a medium?
The waves that propagate through particles of a medium are mechanical waves (aka waves of vibration).
What happens to the wavelength of electromagnetic waves as they travel through a denser medium?
The waves become smaller.
How mechanical and electromagnetic wave are different?
The biggest difference is that mechanical waves require a medium to travel through and electromagnetic waves do not.
The matter through which waves transfers energy?
The matter through which waves transfer energy is called the medium. Waves can travel through different mediums such as air, water, and solids, and they transfer energy by causing particles in the medium to vibrate.
How are electromagnet waves different from mechanical waves?
Electromagnetic waves can travel through space or a medium while mechanical waves need matter to transfer energy.Apex- They don't require a medium to travel through.
What do different waves travel through?
Mechanical waves, such as sound waves, travel through a medium like air, water, or solids. Electromagnetic waves, like light and radio waves, can travel through a vacuum because they do not need a medium to propagate.
What can a medium travel thru?
Nothing (say a vacuum). The medium is what the sound travels through.
What are waves and how do they propagate through different mediums?
Waves are disturbances that carry energy through a medium. They can be classified as mechanical waves, which require a medium to propagate, or electromagnetic waves, which can travel through a vacuum. Waves propagate through different mediums by transferring energy from one particle to another, causing a ripple effect that moves through the medium. The type of medium can affect the speed and behavior of the wave, with factors such as density and elasticity playing a role in how the wave travels.
What happens when waves travel through a medium?
When waves travel through a medium, the particles in the medium vibrate back and forth in the direction of the wave, transferring energy from one particle to the next. This causes the wave to propagate through the medium, carrying the energy and information of the wave to its destination.
Why there is different type of waves?
Different types of waves exist due to the way they propagate energy through a medium or space. These waves can be classified based on their characteristics, such as mechanical or electromagnetic. Mechanical waves, like sound waves, require a medium to travel through, while electromagnetic waves, like light waves, can travel through a vacuum.
How do music sound waves travel through different mediums?
Music sound waves travel through different mediums by vibrating particles in the medium they are traveling through. These vibrations create a series of compressions and rarefactions that propagate through the medium, carrying the sound energy from the source to our ears. The speed at which sound waves travel through a medium depends on the properties of that medium, such as its density and elasticity.
Explain what happens when waves encounter a medium that they cannot travel through?
They reflect back.
