No, only surface and mechanical waves need a medium, compressional waves can travel through space. (Such as light from the Sun).
I think light (EM) waves are the only ones that can travel through a vacuum. Sound waves require a medium.
No, not all waves require a medium to travel through. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, radio waves, and X-rays, can travel through a vacuum because they consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields. These waves do not need a material medium for transmission.
No, not all waves require a medium to travel through. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through a vacuum because they are composed of oscillating electric and magnetic fields rather than requiring a physical medium.
No, mechanical waves require a medium to propagate, like sound waves in air or water waves in the ocean. However, electromagnetic waves, like light or radio waves, can travel through a vacuum without the need for a medium.
Sound waves are mechanical waves that propagate through the vibration of particles in a medium. Without a medium, such as air, water, or a solid, there are no particles for the sound waves to interact with and transmit the vibrations, so the wave cannot travel. Sound waves need a medium to transfer energy and propagate.
Mechanical waves, such as sound waves and water waves, require a medium in order to propagate. These waves travel by transferring energy from one part of the medium to another. Electromagnetic waves, on the other hand, can propagate through a vacuum as they do not require a medium.

light waves do not need a medium. Electromagnetic Waves (EM) do not need a medium. For example visible light, radio waves, microwaves, UV light and x-rays do not. These travel @ 300 million meters/sec in a vacuum.
No. Electromagnetic waves travel through vacuum ( ie space where there is nothing)

Waves do not need a medium all time.it depends like u need no medium when it is electromagnetic wave.
false

Mechanical waves.For example, sound waves, ocean waves, etc.Many waves need a medium to travel: sound waves, water waves, and seismic waves.Electromagnetic waves do not need a medium.
All waves can travel from one place to another as long as they have a medium to travel through. The only waves that do not need a medium are electromagnetic waves. When using the word "transfer" though. Waves transfer energy; waves themselves are not transfered they simply travel.

Not all waves require mediums to propagate.Sound waves can travel through solid, liquid and gaseous mediums, while, electromagnetic waves do not require any medium to travel through.
