What characteristic of light is based on the fact that light waves do not need matter to transmit energy?
The characteristic of light based on the fact that light waves do not need matter to transmit energy is its ability to travel through a vacuum. Light can propagate in empty space, unlike sound waves which require a medium such as air to transmit energy.
What waves must have medium?
Mechanical waves, such as sound waves and water waves, require a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) for propagation because they rely on the vibration of particles in the medium to transmit energy. Electromagnetic waves, like light waves and radio waves, do not require a medium to propagate and can travel through a vacuum.
What wave which require a material medium to propagate?
Mechanical waves, like sound waves or ocean waves, require a material medium to propagate because they rely on the vibration or movement of particles in the medium to transmit energy. Electromagnetic waves, such as light or radio waves, do not require a material medium and can travel through a vacuum.
Do fluids usually transmit only transverse waves?
No, fluids can transmit both transverse and longitudinal waves. In a fluid medium, such as water or air, the propagation of waves can involve both types of wave motion, depending on the properties of the medium and the nature of the disturbance causing the waves.
What type of medium is required by light waves?
Unlike waves in water, for example, light waves don't require a medium at all. They can (and do) travel through a complete vacuum, for example. If you'd like to read about this, the wikipedia article on light, and also on 'The Aether' will be of interest.
What is the medium of light?
No medium is required by electromagnetic waves to traverse.
Does light travels in waves and is required in a medium?
Yes, it travels in waves, but it doesn't need a medium.

Do light waves required a medium?
They dont need it, but they can use it

How do waves transmit energy while there is no medium for propagation?
In a way, they don't. There is always a medium; though for some waves, this medium can be empty space.

What waves don't need medium to travel?
Electromagnetic waves, such as light, radio waves, and X-rays, do not require a medium to travel. These waves are able to propagate through a vacuum. In contrast, mechanical waves, like sound waves, do require a medium, as they rely on the vibration and movement of particles in a substance to transmit energy.
Can sound waves transmit energy through empty space?
No, sound waves cannot transmit energy through empty space because they require a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. In the absence of a medium, sound waves cannot propagate and transmit energy.
Communications satellites transmit UV waves?
No- UV is ultraviolet light. They transmit radio waves.
