No, they don't.

If they did, then light couldn't pass through a vacuum. It would be very dark

here, because the light from the sun, moon and stars could not reach Earth

through the vacuum of space.

How do electromagnetic waves travel through a medium?

electromagnetic waves generally don't require a medium to travel. the most commonly visible example is "light" which may be either sun's light, light from a bulb or any other source. they travel as transverse waves.


Is a electromagnetic waves a form of sound?

No, electromagnetic waves are not a form of sound. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, travel through the vacuum of space and do not require a medium to propagate, while sound waves require a medium, such as air or water, to travel.


Waves that do not require a medium are?

Electromagnetic waves do not require medium for propagation.


Can wave travel a vacuum in sopce?

No, waves cannot travel through a vacuum in space because they require a medium to propagate through, such as air or water. In a vacuum, there is no medium for the waves to move through, so they cannot travel.


What is a wave that doesn't require a medium for propagation?

Electromagnetic waves (like light) don't require a medium for propagation, unlike mechanic waves (like sound).


Which waves can travel through a vaccum?

Electromagnetic waves, such as visible light, radio waves, microwaves, and X-rays, can travel through a vacuum. This is because they do not require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate.


What wave does not require a medium but can travel through empty space?

Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to travel and can propagate through empty space. These waves include visible light, radio waves, microwaves, X-rays, and gamma rays. They are caused by oscillating electric and magnetic fields.


How can light waves move through space?

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


What kind of wave does not require medium?

Electromagnetic waves, such as light waves and radio waves, do not require a medium to travel through. These waves can travel through a vacuum, unlike mechanical waves which require a medium to propagate, like sound waves in air or water waves in the ocean.
