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.

Any eletromagnetic wave. Light, visible or non visible.


What waves require a medium and what waves do not?

Mechanical waves require a medium (substance) to travel in, other waves do not. For example, sound is a mechanical wave and require a medium (air, water, etc.), light is not a mechanical wave and does not require a medium


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.


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.


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).


A Wave that doesn't need a medium?

light; all waves in the EM(electromagnetic) spectrum, including visible light, do not need a medium to travel in


What types of energy transfer requires a medium?

Its either sound, visible light,xrays.ultraviolet light


Are the sun rays mechanical wves or electoromagnetic waves?

Sun rays are electromagnetic waves, specifically in the visible light range. They travel in a wave form and do not require a medium to propagate, distinguishing them from mechanical waves like sound waves that do need a medium.
