Can mechanical waves transfer through empty space?

No. Mechanical waves are utterly incapable of transfering energy through empty space.


Is mechanical waves can travel though empty space true or false?

False. Mechanical waves require a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. They cannot propagate through empty space because they rely on the vibration of particles in the medium to transfer energy.


What is the transfer of heat energy through empty space called?

The transfer of heat energy through empty space is called radiation.


What is one characteristic shared by electromagnetic and mechanical waves, such as sound waves and light waves?

One characteristic shared by electromagnetic and mechanical waves is that they both can transfer energy through a medium or through empty space.


The transfer of energy through empty space is called?

Conduction


What is the transfer of energy through empty space called?

Radiation.


Is the transfer of energy through empty space is called convection?

No. (radiation)


Can waves transfer energy through liquids and solids but not through gases or empty space?

Some waves can transfer energy only through liquids and solids, but not through gases or vacuum. Some waves, like sound waves, can transfer energy through gases, liquids and solids but not through vacuum. And some waves, notably electromagnetic waves, can transfer energy through vacuum as well as matter.


What is heat transfer through empty space?

Heat transfer through empty space is known as radiation. It does not require a medium (such as air or water) for heat to travel and can occur in a vacuum. This type of heat transfer is how the sun's energy reaches us on Earth.


What waves transfer energy through empty space?

Electromagnetic wave


Which is the only type of energy transfer that can traverse through empty space?

Electromagnetic waves can traverse through empty space. Heat is transferred right from Sun to earth only through empty space


What transfer energy through empty space is called?

Transferring energy through empty space is called radiation. There are three types of energy transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation. Radiation is the only energy transfer that does not require a medium. Radiation is a wave of pure energy; one example of radiation is the sunlight that reaches Earth, which is electromagnetic radiation.
