The details are quite complicated, and involved quantum-mechanical considerations. They will travel through a material (solid or otherwise) if they are not absorbed, nor reflected. For example, an electromagnetic wave can only be absorbed if it is possible to raise the energy level of an electron by the amount of energy in the electromagnetic wave. If this does NOT happen, the wave will basically just go through.
What else can I help you with?
Which is true of light waves a. They require a medium. b. They cannot travel through liquids. c. They cannot travel through solids. d. They are electromagnetic waves.?
My guess, C.. Common sense.
Can electromagnetic waves travel through matter through a vacuum?
Electromagnetic waves such as light can pass through material medium such as water, glass etc and at the same time it could pass through vacuum ie a medium of free space.
Can transverse waves travel through empty space?
No, transverse waves cannot travel through empty space because they require a medium or material to propagate. Examples of mediums that transverse waves can travel through include solids, liquids, and gases, but not empty space.
A wave that travels trough empty space or matter?
Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through empty space as they do not require a medium to propagate. They consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that carry energy from one place to another. Sound waves, on the other hand, require a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel through.
What mediums can transverse waves travel through?
Transverse waves can travel through mediums such as solids, liquids, and gases. Examples include electromagnetic waves (such as light) traveling through air, water waves, and seismic waves traveling through the Earth's crust.
What are the mediums that waves can travel through?
Waves can travel through many media, depending on their nature. Sound waves can go through solids, liquids and gases. Transverse shock waves can only travel through solids. Electromagnetic waves can go through some solids, liquids or gases, or through a vacuum.

What do shear waves travel through?
Shear waves travel through solids. They cannot travel through liquids and gasses (unlike compressive waves) and they can't travel through a vacuum (unlike electromagnetic waves).
NOT one of the waves of the electromagnetic spectrum?
Sound waves are not part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium to travel through, such as air, water, or solids, while electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum.
Can transverse waves travel through empty space?
No, transverse waves cannot travel through empty space because they require a medium or material to propagate. Examples of mediums that transverse waves can travel through include solids, liquids, and gases, but not empty space.

Sound is not part of the electromagnetic spectrum because?
because sound waves are not a electromagnetic waves because they need a medium for travel....hence electromagnetic spectrum is based on the electromagnetic waves ..like radio waves , micro waves , etc....
What is the difference of electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves?
Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to propagate and can travel through a vacuum, whereas mechanical waves require a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel through. Electromagnetic waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields, while mechanical waves are produced by the vibration of particles in the medium. Electromagnetic waves can travel at the speed of light, while the speed of mechanical waves depends on the properties of the medium.
Does waves travel through solids or liquids faster?
Sound waves travel faster through denser media, like solids, because the molecules are closer together, making it easier to pass the sound from molecule to molecule. Light and other electromagnetic waves travel faster through less dense media, and they travel fastest through a vacuum.
Which phenomenon do em waves exhibit that sound waves do not?
Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum, while sound waves require a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to propagate. Additionally, electromagnetic waves can travel at the speed of light, while sound waves travel at a much slower speed.
