Of course. It's generally known by virtually everyone that electromagnetic

waves carry energy just fine through empty space.

Is it possible for a Faraday cage to interdict a gamma pulse?

No. At least, I don't think it's reasonable to assume that. The reason it won't work is that, while a gamma ray is still an electromagnetic wave (just like a radio wave is), the wavelength of a gamma ray pulse is extremely short compared to the grid size of a Faraday cage, or even of the individual atoms.


Do mirrors work in outer space?

Yes, mirrors work in outer space. They reflect light just like they do on Earth. However, objects placed in front of a mirror in space may not appear as they do on Earth due to the lack of atmosphere and different lighting conditions.


How do telescopes and the electromagnetic spectrum work together to help us explore space?

Telescopes are used to observe and magnify images in outer space. The electromagnetic spectrum consists of many wavelengths, which constitute visible light, infrared, microwave, and X-ray radiation. Telescopes can be manufactured to view these certain types of radiation.


Will electromagnet can work in space?

Magnets work because their atoms are aligned in certain orientation so that the magnetic field is not chaos but is organized as ripples around the matter. Such organized electromagnetic field of any nature can exist without any supporting media like air or water. If you think space is vacuum then you are wrong again. There is a lot of black or dark matter (invisible to current scientific equipment) in this universe and lots of particles like cosmic rays emitted by stars and galaxies. So magnets will work regardless of vacuum or space.


Can a gasoline engine operate in outer space?

No, a gasoline engine cannot operate in outer space because it requires oxygen to combust the fuel. In the vacuum of space, there is no air for combustion to occur, so the engine would not work.

How Do Electromagnetic Waves Work?

Electromagnetic waves are waves which can travel through the vacuum of outer space.


What is the type of heat transfer that generates radio waves and can work even in empty space?

The type of heat transfer that generates radio waves is electromagnetic radiation. Unlike conduction or convection, electromagnetic radiation does not require a medium and can travel through empty space. This is how communication systems like radios and cell phones work, by transmitting information through the generation and reception of radio waves.


Where's the thing related to the space shipin megaman star force Leo?

Go into the Museum in AMAKEN. Read the sign on the "Space Colony" and you'll realise there is a wave hole there. Pulse into the Space Colony Comp. Work out the rest for yourself.


Would a guitar work in a space shuttle that is in space?

I have known that it will not work in space while you are in the space shuttle. But it is a good thing that it works on earth but the bad thing is that it doesn't work in space. Answered by:SAV


Would a kite work in space?

No, kites need both wind and gravity to work.. and neither of those are in space.


What are the parts of the electromagnetic waves?

Electromagnetic waves consist of an electric field and a magnetic field that oscillate perpendicular to each other and to the direction of wave propagation. These two fields work together to carry energy and information through space.


How does electromagnetic bell work?

A electromagnetic bell works by a electrical circuit.


Would a box of matches work in space?
