What else can I help you with?
What travels only through matter light waves sound waves or radio waves?
Sound waves can only travel through matter, as they require a medium to propagate. Light waves and radio waves can travel through both matter and empty space.
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.
Certain seismic waves travel as?
There are three main types of seismic waves that travel through the Earth: P-waves (primary waves) are the fastest and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. S-waves (secondary waves) follow P-waves and can only travel through solids, not liquids or gases. Surface waves travel along the Earth's surface and are responsible for most of the damage during an earthquake.
Do surface waves require a medium?
Yes, surface waves require a medium to travel through. Unlike electromagnetic waves that can travel through a vacuum, surface waves, such as water waves and seismic waves, need a material medium to propagate.
What are the characteristics of body waves?
Body waves are seismic waves that travel through the Earth's interior. They include Primary (P-waves), which are compressional waves that travel through solids, liquids, and gases, and Secondary (S-waves), which are shear waves that only travel through solids. Body waves are responsible for the initial shaking felt during an earthquake.
What does surface waves travel through?
surface waves can only travel along the surface.
What waves sound waves travel in?
Sound (and vibration) waves may only travel in some medium. Such as air, metal and so on. They cannot travel in a vacuum.
Which layers can S-waves travel through?
s-waves travel through solids only
Waves that can travel only through matter?
Sound, water waves, shock waves, etc
What to waves travel through?
Sound waves travel through matter. The only thing it doesn't travel through is vacuums or outer space.
What travels only through matter light waves sound waves or radio waves?
Sound waves can only travel through matter, as they require a medium to propagate. Light waves and radio waves can travel through both matter and empty space.
Does sound travel in waves?
Sound (and vibration) waves may only travel in some medium. Such as air, metal and so on. They cannot travel in a vacuum.
How are electromagnetic (or light) waves different from water and sound waves?
Light waves and electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space. Water waves can only travel through matter. Hope this helped!
What type of wave requires no medium to travel through?
Waves need not require medium to travel through. Only Mechanical waves like sound waves require medium to travel through. Electromagnetic waves travel in vaccum like light waves. Some waves transmitted in a medium due to disturbances in the medium .
What can travel only through a medium?
mechanical waves
A seismogram shows that p waves travel?
The seismogram shows that P waves travel faster than S waves, as they are the first waves to arrive at the seismograph station after an earthquake occurs. P waves are compressional waves that can travel through solids, liquids, and gases, whereas S waves are shear waves that can only travel through solids.
Do transverse waves need medium to travel?
Yes, but only EM waves don't.
