Light cannot pass though matter but matter is technically atoms, which are mostly space with a few, moving objects - electrons and the nucleus. For glass, the loss of light through the material occurs for all glass.

How does a compressional wave transport energy through matter?

A compressional wave transports energy through matter by causing particles in the medium to bump into each other, passing on the energy from one particle to the next. This results in a chain reaction of vibrations propagating through the medium, carrying the energy with it.


How is energy like matter?

Energy and matter are interconnected through Einstein's famous equation E=mc^2, which states that energy can be converted into matter and matter can be converted into energy. Both energy and matter are fundamental components of the universe and can exist in various forms. Energy can be stored in matter and matter can release energy through processes such as nuclear reactions.


What kinds of energy travel through matter?

Mechanical, thermal, and electromagnetic energy can travel through matter. Mechanical energy involves the movement of objects or particles within a substance. Thermal energy is the movement of heat through matter. Electromagnetic energy, such as light or radio waves, can also pass through various types of material.


The matter through which waves transfers energy?

The matter through which waves transfer energy is called the medium. Waves can travel through different mediums such as air, water, and solids, and they transfer energy by causing particles in the medium to vibrate.


Which type of radiation is unaffected by electric and magnetic fielddwhy?

Neutrino radiation is unaffected by electric and magnetic fields because neutrinos have no electric charge and carry very little mass, allowing them to pass through matter and fields virtually undisturbed.

By what process doe heat travel through the ball?

Heat can travel through a solid ball through conduction, where heat is transferred as a result of direct contact between molecules within the material. The heat energy causes the molecules to vibrate, passing the energy along without the actual transfer of matter.


What is it called when matter passes from a solid to a gas with out passing through a liquid phase?

Could dark matter be causing the cosmic speed limit (the speed of light) as light gets slowed down when passing through dark matter?

That's completely unrelated. Light usually slows down when passing through ANY matter. It does not react with dark matter (which is what makes the "dark matter" invisible in the first place), except through the gravitational interaction. The "cosmic speed limit" is a limit on how fast ANYTHING can travel (matter, energy, or information); it is just conventional to call it the "speed of light". This speed limit is for a vacuum - the assumption is NO normal matter, and NO dark matter; the presence of any matter may slow light down slightly.


What can cause a matter to change?
