What waves can pass through a vacuum?

Electromagnetic waves, such as visible light, radio waves, and X-rays, can pass through a vacuum because they do not require a medium for propagation. However, mechanical waves, like sound waves, cannot propagate in a vacuum because they need a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel through.


What kind of waves can pass through a vacuum?

Electromagnetic waves, such as light waves and radio waves, can pass through a vacuum because they do not require a medium to propagate. Sound waves, on the other hand, require a material medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel through and cannot propagate through a vacuum.


Can all electromagnetic waves pass through vacuum?

Yes, all electromagnetic waves can pass through vacuum because they do not require a medium to propagate. This includes visible light, radio waves, microwaves, and X-rays.


Can electromagnetic waves pass through vacuum?

Yes they can. Sunlight is just such a wave!


What waves can pass through a medium?

Essentially any matter ( Solid, liquid or gas ) But not in a vacuum (ie in space)


What radiation waves does an electric radio produce?

The radio receptor receives electromagnetic waves from a broadcast station.These waves are called radio waves. Electromagnetic radiation travels by means of oscillating electromagnetic fields that pass through the air and the vacuum of space.


Can mechanical waves pass though a vacuum?

Mechanical waves can't pass through a vacuum. Mechanical waves need something to pass through. Space is generally considered a vacuum, with nothing in it to transmit a mechanical wave.


How can light or radio waves pass through the nothingness of space and isn't that evidence of a somethingness?

light and radio waves are energy themselves, so they are not dependent on "something" being there to travel through as sound is. the reason that sound cannot pass through a vacuum is because it is a set of energy waves that flow through the molecules of the substance. causing the first molecule to bump into the second, second into the third, third to the fourth and so on.


Can electromagnetic waves travel through matter through a vacuum?

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.


What medium can a sound wave pass through?

Sound waves can pass through mediums such as air, water, and solids, as they require a material medium to propagate. Sound waves cannot pass through a vacuum as there are no particles for the waves to vibrate and travel through.


What can radio waves pass through?

Radio waves can pass through various materials such as air, water, and some solid objects like walls and buildings. They are able to penetrate through these substances due to their long wavelength and low energy levels. However, the ability of radio waves to pass through a material depends on the frequency and thickness of the material.


Can you touch radio waves?

You cannot touch radio waves. They would simply pass through your hand, and you would never feel them.
