Yes, they do if they want to propagate from where they're at to anywhere else.
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.
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.
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.
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.
They all do.
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.

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

false
No. Electromagnetic waves travel through vacuum ( ie space where there is nothing)
