How can light waves move through space?

Light waves, unlike sound, do not require a medium.


How does light waves compare with sound waves?

Light waves are electromagnetic waves that move at the speed of light. Sound waves are compression waves that move through a medium (air, liquids, solids), with varying speeds according to the medium.


How do waves move without a medium?

Waves can move without a medium through electromagnetic radiation, such as light and radio waves, which can travel through a vacuum. These waves do not require a material medium like air or water to propagate.


What does the word medium refer to in terms of lights and waves?

actually light is nothing but combination of so many Waves. so we can say that light and waves are not different things that means if a light can move through a medium we an say that the waves an also move through that so medium refers the same meaning both in terms of light and waves


What are the vibration particles that can move through a vacuum?

Electromagnetic waves, such as light, are vibration particles that can move through a vacuum. These waves do not require a medium to propagate and travel through empty space at the speed of light.


Do light and sound both move in waves?

Yes, both light and sound can be described as waves. Light waves are electromagnetic waves, while sound waves are mechanical waves. They both propagate through a medium, although light can also travel through a vacuum.


When light waves are travelling through a slower medium they move which way towards the normal?

away from the normal


Which type of wave does not move in a medium?

Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to propagate and can travel through the vacuum of space. Examples of electromagnetic waves include light, radio waves, and X-rays.


What is a type of matter that waves can move through?

A type of matter that waves can move through is a medium. Waves require a medium to propagate, such as air for sound waves or water for water waves. The characteristics of the medium, such as density and elasticity, can affect the speed and behavior of the waves.


What are waves that move the medium at RIGHT angles to the direction the wave travels?

Transverse waves move the medium perpendicular to the direction of the wave. This means the particles of the medium oscillate up and down or side to side as the wave passes through. Examples of transverse waves include light waves and electromagnetic waves.


Why light waves doesn't require a medium for its propogation but sound waves require?

Light waves are electromagnetic waves that can propagate through vacuum since they do not require a medium for transmission. Sound waves, on the other hand, are mechanical waves that require a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to propagate because they rely on the particles in the medium to transfer energy from one point to another.


Light energy travels in?

Light energy travels in the form of electromagnetic waves, which do not require a medium to propagate. These waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that move through space at the speed of light.
