Electromagnetic waves aren't really waves in the same sense that water waves or sound waves are; no medium is necessary. See below for an alternative ... "theory." ---- The electromagnetic wave medium is not understood by physicists. The medium is z, the 'free space impedance" what Maxwell called the Ether. The Ether was dismissed by physicists in the M-M "experiment". The experiment was bad the ether is z=375 ohms.

The ether z=W/Q, where W is the magnetic charge in Webers (volt seconds) and Q is the electric charge in Coulombs. W= 500 e-18 Webers and Q= 4/3 e-18 Coulombs.

z is related to Planck's Action Constant h=2/3e-33 Joule seconds = WQ!

Electromagnetic waves energy E=hf = WQf, the medium exists.

Do electromagnetic waves need a medium?

No. We get electromagnetic waves from the sun. We can see stars and sun even though there is a virtual vacuum between us.

What medium is needed for electromagnetic waves?

Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum, which means they do not need a medium to propagate. This is a unique feature of electromagnetic radiation compared to mechanical waves like sound waves which require a medium, such as air or water, to travel through.


Do radio waves need a medium to travel through?

No, radio waves do not need a medium to travel through. They are a type of electromagnetic wave that can travel through a vacuum, such as space. They can also travel through other mediums, such as air or water.
