No. Electromagnet waves can penetrate and move through, many substances, depending on frequency and power.

If it only travelled through a vacuum, we wouldn't have, TV, Radio, mobile phones, radar or microwave ovens.

Can electromagnetic waves pass through vacuum?

Yes they can. Sunlight is just such a wave!


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.


What waves can pass through a vacuum?

Electromagnetic waves, such as visible light, radio waves, and X-rays, can pass through a vacuum because they do not require a medium for propagation. However, mechanical waves, like sound waves, cannot propagate in a vacuum because they need a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel through.


Can all electromagnetic waves pass through vacuum?

Yes, all electromagnetic waves can pass through vacuum because they do not require a medium to propagate. This includes visible light, radio waves, microwaves, and X-rays.


Can radio waves pass through a vacuum?

Yes, radio waves can pass through a vacuum because they are a form of electromagnetic waves. Unlike sound waves, which require a medium to travel through, electromagnetic waves do not need a medium and can propagate through empty space.


What kind of waves can pass through a vacuum?

Electromagnetic waves, such as light waves and radio waves, can pass through a vacuum because they do not require a medium to propagate. Sound waves, on the other hand, require a material medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel through and cannot propagate through a vacuum.


Do electromagnetic waves have to pass through a solid medium?

No, electromagnetic waves do not require a solid medium to travel through. They can travel through a vacuum, such as outer space. This is because electromagnetic waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields.


Are microwaves in space?

yes, they are also a type of electromagnetic waves. any EM wave can travel in space as they can pass through vacuum.


Which mechanism of heat transfer can work in a vacuum?

Heat is a form of energy. Atoms of a certain material begin to tremble very fast when heated and pass this movement on to other atoms. So I think -not shure, heat/ energy can only be passed through material, and so it is not possible in a vacuum.


Why sound cannot travel in a vacium?

Sound is not an electromagnetic wave, which can pass through a vacuum, but a vibration wave which requires matter to vibrate. A vacuum has no matter to vibrate, therefor sound cannot pass through it.


Does current pass through vacuum?

Usually not, but a high voltage can force electrons from one side to the other. This is done in vacuum tubes. Answer2: Yes. The Electromagnetic Wave passes through vacuums and E = hf = WQf = WI, where I is a current.


What three ways can differ electromagnetic waves from sound waves?

Electromagnetic waves are transverse in nature where as sound waves are longitudinal. Electromagnetic waves can pass even through vacuum but sound waves are mechanical waves that means it needs badly a material medium Sound waves can be sensed by ear where as electromagnetic waves are sensed by eyes.
