A vacuum
When a light wave is emitted from a flashlight or a candle, the medium that is disturbed is the electromagnetic field. Light is an electromagnetic wave that consists of oscillating electric and magnetic fields propagating through space.
The refractive index indicates how much light is slowed down as it travels through a medium compared to its speed in a vacuum. Since light travels more slowly in a medium than in a vacuum, the refractive index of the medium is always greater than 1.
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.
Light travels faster (up to the speed of light) in a vacuum, which is empty space. Light travels slower through a medium (matter).
The speed of light is a constant in a vacuum and does not change, regardless of the medium it passes through.
Yes, light can travel through space because it does not need a medium to propagate.
Yes, space is a medium through which light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation can travel.
Yes, light can travel through open space. Light does not require a medium to propagate, so it can move through the vacuum of space without any obstacles.
Light can travel through a vacuum, which means it does not require a medium to propagate. This is explained by the wave-particle duality of light. While light behaves as a wave and doesn't need a medium, it can also be understood as a stream of particles called photons.
Light waves, unlike sound, do not require a medium.
No. light waves required no medium for transmission.
Light waves can travel through empty space. You might say that the empty space is the medium in this case.
I assume you are thinking about a "medium". If a wave travels through some "substance", such a substances is called a medium. In the case of light waves, or electromagnetic waves in general, the medium is empty space - nothing is required to fill the space.
Light can travel through space because it is made up of electromagnetic waves that do not require a medium to propagate. Sound, on the other hand, is a mechanical wave that needs a medium, such as air, water, or a solid, to travel through. Since space is a vacuum with no medium, sound cannot travel through it.
Light can be transmitted through a vacuum without the need for a medium, such as in outer space. However, in material mediums like air, water, or glass, light can also be transmitted through a process of absorption and re-emission of photons by the atoms in the medium.
Electromagnetic energy, such as light and radio waves, does not require a medium to travel through. It can propagate through the vacuum of space.
Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can be transmitted through the vacuum of space as they do not require a medium to propagate.
