Yes. Light waves are electromagnetic waves, which do not require a medium to travel through.
Mechanical waves (such as sound) do require a medium to travel through, so sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum.
Space is a vacuum. The light from the stars (including our own sun) travel across a great distance in a vacuum to get to us.
The accepted speed of light is its speed in a vacuum, which is 299,792,458 m/s.
What else can I help you with?
Is vacuum a medium of light?
Light can travel through vacuum, but it is not a medium.
Can light travel forever in a vacuum?
Yes, light can travel forever in a vacuum because there are no particles to absorb or scatter it.
What type of light waves can travel through a vacuum?
Electromagnetic waves, including visible light, infrared, and ultraviolet radiation, can travel through a vacuum without the need for a medium to propagate.
What materials can light travel through faster than it travels through air?
Light can travel faster through a vacuum than through air. In a vacuum, light travels at its maximum speed of about 299,792 kilometers per second. This is because there are no particles in a vacuum to slow down the light's speed.
Will a light wave travel through a vacuum?
Yes, light can travel through a vacuum because it consists of electromagnetic waves that do not require a medium to propagate through. This is why light from the sun and other stars can reach us despite the vacuum of space.
Why doesn't light travel through a vacuum?
Light does travel through a vacuum.
Is vacuum a medium of light?
Light can travel through vacuum, but it is not a medium.
Can light travel forever in a vacuum?
Yes, light can travel forever in a vacuum because there are no particles to absorb or scatter it.
The speed of light indicates how fast light can travel in a vacuum?
Yes ... in a vacuum.
What can light travel in?
Light can travel in a vacuum or in any transparent material
Can gases travel through a vacuum?
No. Only light waves can travel through a vacuum.
Does light travel at its slowest speed when passing through a vacuum?
No, light is at its fastest in a vacuum.
Does light travel trough a vacuum?
Yes. Light is a self-propagating wave that does not need a medium to flow. Thus, light has the ability to travel through a vacuum.
Does light travel faster in a vacuum?
Yes.
What can infrared light travel across?
It can travel across the vacuum of space.
What type of light waves can travel through a vacuum?
Electromagnetic waves, including visible light, infrared, and ultraviolet radiation, can travel through a vacuum without the need for a medium to propagate.
Can light and sound travel through vacuum?
Light can. Sound can't.
