Electromagnetic radiation travels freely through air, much as it does through a vacuum, as air is not very dense. However, the speed of light through air is slightly reduced.

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.
Is a EM wave a sound wave?
No, electromagnetic (EM) waves are different from sound waves. EM waves are vibrations of electric and magnetic fields that do not need a medium to travel through, while sound waves are mechanical vibrations that require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate.
What does mechanical wave needs to travel?
Mechanical waves need a medium to travel through, such as air, water, or solids. These waves propagate by transferring energy from one particle to another within the medium. Without a medium, mechanical waves cannot travel.
How do EM waves travels?
Electromagnetic (EM) waves are self-propagating waves of electric and magnetic fields that travel through space at the speed of light. They do not require a medium to travel through, and can travel through a vacuum. EM waves are produced by the vibrations of charged particles and have both electric and magnetic components perpendicular to each other.
What does the e stand for in EM waves?
EM waves stand for Electromagnetic waves.

Can em waves travel through vacuum?

Distance which EM waves can reach?
em waves travel at approximately 300 000 km per second in area space
What does the e stand for in EM waves?
EM waves stand for Electromagnetic waves.
Do transverse waves need medium to travel?
Yes, but only EM waves don't.
What is the disturbance that travels in a water and EM waves?
The disturbance that travels in a water and EM waves is sometimes known as electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic waves have the ability to travel through a vacuum.
Are em waves longitudinal are transverse?
EM waves are both Transverse and Longitudinal.
All waves need a medium to travel?
No, only surface and mechanical waves need a medium, compressional waves can travel through space. (Such as light from the Sun).I think light (EM) waves are the only ones that can travel through a vacuum. Sound waves require a medium.
Can both electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves move throgh space?
Yes, but mechanical waves need matter to travel through. EM waves can travel through vacuums as well.
