What else can I help you with?
What materials will you need to create a wave?
To create a wave, you will need a medium such as water or air, a source of energy to disturb the medium (like wind or a vibrating object), and space for the wave to propagate.
Light is not a wave because it does not need a medium?
Light can exhibit both particle-like and wave-like properties, known as wave-particle duality. In the wave theory of light, light is considered an electromagnetic wave that can propagate through a vacuum without a medium. This is supported by experimental evidence such as the double-slit experiment and interference patterns.
Does a transverse wave need a physical medium to travel?
No, a transverse wave does not need a physical medium to travel. Transverse waves are characterized by perpendicular oscillations of the medium, and they can propagate through a vacuum or empty space as seen in electromagnetic waves.
What is the difference between a mechanical wave and an electromagnetic wave?
A mechanical wave requires a medium (such as air or water) to travel through, while an electromagnetic wave can travel through a vacuum (like space) because it does not need a medium.
Does a transverse wave move a medium?
Yes, a transverse wave does move the medium. In a transverse wave, the oscillations of the particles in the medium are perpendicular to the direction in which the wave is moving. This motion of the particles transmits the energy of the wave through the medium.
Do sound require a medium?
Sound waves need a medium to propagate. Light-waves and other electromagnetic wave (radio, xray) do not.
Why does a mechanical wave need a medium?
medium is the matter a wave trvels through
Why does a wave travel a medium?
Waves do not need a medium all time.it depends like u need no medium when it is electromagnetic wave.
What are waves that need a medium?
mechanical wave
Does a mechanical wave need a medium?
Yes.
Does a seismic wave need a medium to move?
No
What materials will you need to create a wave?
To create a wave, you will need a medium such as water or air, a source of energy to disturb the medium (like wind or a vibrating object), and space for the wave to propagate.
Does matter wave need medium to travel?
yes
What is characteristics of a wave?
They need a medium to propagate through.
What do you need for a wave to occur?
A medium and a pressure differential
Why do we need mediums with regards to waves?
Wave is nothing but a transferring of disturbance. So it needs a medium. But if medium is to be material then the wave is named as mechanical wave. If medium is not to be a material and if free space is enough then the wave is found to be electromagnetic. Sound is a mechanical wave and light is an electromagnetic wave
A substance that a wave travels through is called a?
The material through which a wave travels is called a medium.
