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.


A wave that can only travel through some type of matter?

sound wave .


What is the longitudinal wave that can travel only through matter?

A sound wave is a longitudinal wave that can travel only through matter, such as air, water, or solids. This type of wave involves the vibration of particles in the medium parallel to the direction of the wave's propagation. Sound waves require a medium to propagate and cannot travel through a vacuum.


What can travel only through some type of matter.?

A sound wave


What is a wave that only can travel through matter?

A wave of kinetic energy requires a medium to travel though.


A transverse or compressional wave that can travel only through matter?

That would be sound.


What does an electromagnetic wave do?

can travel through matter


A wave that can travel through empty space or through matter?

An electromagnetic wave can travel through empty space or through matter. Examples include light, radio waves, and X-rays. These waves do not require a medium for propagation.


What state of matter travels through waves?

It depends. Is it a mechanical wave or a electromagnetic wave? Mechanical waves (for example sound waves) travel trough every state of matter and they can't exist without matter. They don't travel through vacuum. Electromagnetic waves travel trough space and get interrupted only by other electromagnetic waves.


Which state of matter does a sound wave travel faster through?

Air


What type of wave can only travel through a medium?

A deshawn wave!


Which type of wave travels by pushing and pulling on the matter it travels through?

Mechanical waves travel by pushing and pulling on the matter they travel through. Sound waves and seismic waves are examples of mechanical waves.
