Electromagnetic waves such as light can pass through material medium such as water, glass etc and at the same time it could pass through vacuum ie a medium of free space.

Is it possible for a electromagnetic wave to travel through a vacuum through matter?

Yes, electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum as they do not require a medium to propagate. However, when electromagnetic waves encounter matter, they may be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted depending on the properties of the material.


What is a 'vacuum' in electromagnetic waves terms?

In electromagnetic waves terms, a vacuum refers to a region of space that contains no matter and has no medium for the waves to propagate through. Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum because they do not require a medium for transmission.


Is a vacuum still a vacuum if there are electromagnetic waves in the vacuum?

Yes, a vacuum is still a vacuum if electromagnetic waves are present. A vacuum is an area with no matter in it. We know that matter is anything which has mass and takes up space. Electromagnetic waves have no mass, and certianly take up no space. They're energy.


Which can travel through a vacuum?

Electromagnetic waves.


Electromagnetic waves can travel through a?

Vacuum


Do infrared waves travel through a vacuum?

Yes, infrared waves can travel through a vacuum because they do not require a medium for propagation. This is because infrared radiation is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, and all electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum.


What waves are unique because of there ability to travel through a vacuum. a space that contains no particles of matter?

Electromagnetic waves are unique because they can travel through a vacuum, which does not contain matter particles. This is because electromagnetic waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that can propagate through empty space.


It is possible for an electromagnetic wave to travel through a vacuum?

yes, they can travel.


Do microwave travel through vacuum?

Yes, any electromagnetic wave can travel through a vacuum.


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.


Is it possible for a electromagnetic wave to travel through a vacuum?

yes, they can travel.


What can't energy be transferred through?

Energy cannot be transferred through a vacuum, as it requires a medium such as matter or particles to travel from one point to another. While electromagnetic radiation (such as light) can travel through a vacuum, it is the radiation itself transferring energy, not the vacuum.
