What else can I help you with?
Is vacuum a medium of light?
Light can travel through vacuum, but it is not a medium.
Is vacuum a medium?
Vacuum is not a medium. Considering waves, mechanical waves require a medium (such as air) to travel. Electromagnetic waves (such as visible light and radio waves) do not require a medium, and are the only waves (that we know of) that can travel through a vacuum. I have heard of a gravity wave, which may be a third type of wave. I don't know much about them. These would also travel through a vacuum.
Can mechanical waves pass though a vacuum?
Mechanical waves can't pass through a vacuum. Mechanical waves need something to pass through. Space is generally considered a vacuum, with nothing in it to transmit a mechanical wave.
Is a ocean wave a mechanical or Electromagnetic?
An ocean wave is considered to be a mechanical wave, as it requires a medium (water) to propagate. Electromagnetic waves, on the other hand, do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
Sound waves can't travel through A a solid B a liquid C an elastic material D a vacuum?
Sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum because it needs a medium and a vacuum has nothing within it that can act as a medium.

Why is the speed of light medium?
The speed of light is not medium: in vacuum, it is the highest speed that there can be. Hardly a definition of medium!
Which medium does sound not travel through?
Vacuum
Sound waves can't travel through A a solid B a liquid C an elastic material D a vacuum?
Sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum because it needs a medium and a vacuum has nothing within it that can act as a medium.
Why does convection not happen in a vacuum?
Convection requires a medium, such as a gas or liquid, to transfer heat through the motion of the medium itself. In a vacuum, there is no medium to carry the heat, so convection cannot occur. Heat transfer in a vacuum primarily occurs through radiation.
Can you see light in a vacuum?
No, light cannot be seen in a vacuum because light requires a medium to travel through in order to be visible. In a vacuum, there is no medium for the light to interact with, so it cannot be seen.
Is speed of light in vacuum and medium same?
No, light in a medium will travel at a slower speed.
How does a medium (matter)affect the speed of light?
When light goes through any medium other than a vacuum, its speed is normally slower than in a vacuum.
How fast is the speed of sound in a vacuum?
The speed of sound cannot be measured in a vacuum because there is no medium for sound waves to travel through in a vacuum. Sound requires a medium such as air, water, or solids to propagate.
