Yes. It's a wave. By definition a wave is an emergent phenomenon which arises from a disturbance in an underlying medium.

By analogy, how can you have a wave without water?

For any harrumphing Einsteinian Relativists out there, I believe old Albert's main contribution to 20th Century physics was to restate Lorentzian Relativity to accommodate the results of the Michelson-Morley experiment.

Alas, it would appear that the results of that experiment were misunderstood and Lorentz is gaining in the final furlong...

How does how does light travel through opaque material?

it cant travel through light.


When light cannot travel through a material the light has been?

When light cannot travel through a material, it has been absorbed or blocked by the material. This typically occurs when the material is opaque and not transparent or translucent.


Does light need a substance to travel through?

No. It is radiation, not vibration. As electromagnetic energy, it can travel through a vacuum, and only through transparent or translucent material.


What material does visible light not travel through?

An opaqe object. NO light can travel through it at all.


What is a material through which light waves can travel?

Light can travel through transparent and translucent glass.


Does the wave nature of light states that light needs a medium through which to travel in different waves?

Light been found as electromagnetic wave does not need any material medium to get propagated. Even in free space (vacuum) it is able to travel.


A material that light can travel through is?

A material that light can travel through is called a transparent material. These materials allow light to pass through without scattering or being absorbed. Glass, air, and water are examples of transparent materials.


How does light travel through a translucent material?

Light can travel through a translucent material because the material scatters light rather than absorbing it. Light enters the material and is scattered in different directions, allowing part of it to pass through. This diffusion of light throughout the material creates a semi-transparent effect.


What type of material can travel through space?

Sound and Light can travel through space.


Does light travel through sponge?

Light will not travel through an opaque sponge.


Why don't we classify light waves as mechanical?

Because they don't need any material substance to travel through in order to get from place to place.
