Sound cannot travel through what?
As sound is a mechanical wave (unlike light, an electromagnetic wave), it requires a medium in which to travel, therefore, it cannot travel through a vacuum.
What are some changes that can be caused by electromagnetic energy?
Unlike sound electromagnetic waves can travel trough empty space
What is the reasoning that microwaves can travel through empty space as well as through air and food?
Microwaves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum, and as such they do not require any physical presence to aid passage, unlike sound waves which do require a medium through which to travel.

What do shear waves travel through?
Shear waves travel through solids. They cannot travel through liquids and gasses (unlike compressive waves) and they can't travel through a vacuum (unlike electromagnetic waves).
Sound cannot travel through what?
As sound is a mechanical wave (unlike light, an electromagnetic wave), it requires a medium in which to travel, therefore, it cannot travel through a vacuum.
Example of electromagnetic radiation?
Light is an example of electromagnetic radiation. EM radiation unlike other waves of energy doesn't need a medium to travel through hence why light energy can travel from the sun to the earth through the vacuum of space.

Are the suns waves electromagnetic waves?
The sun is a mechanical wave because it doesn't have radio waves in it and it doesn't have spectrum energy, unlike electromagnetic energy.

Microwaves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum, and as such they do not require any physical presence to aid passage, unlike sound waves which do require a medium through which to travel.
What does a medium seismic wave travel through?
Seismic waves are vibrations generated by an earthquake. They travel along the surface of the Earth and through the earth. They are a type of wave known as a mechanical wave and as such (unlike electromagnetic waves) require a medium through which to travel. Seismic waves can be split into body and surface waves. The body waves can be split into two main types, the P-wave or primary wave which is a compression or longitudinal wave which can travel through solids, liquids and gasses and the S-wave which is a transverse or shear wave and can only travel through solids.
Are the sun waves mechanical waves or electromagnetic waves?
Electromagnetic waves
