What else can I help you with?
. Name a kind of wave that does not require a medium.?
(1) Electromagnetic waves, (2) gravitational waves.
What are 2 types of waves?
Two types of waves are mechanical waves, which require a medium to propagate (e.g. sound waves), and electromagnetic waves, which can propagate through vacuum (e.g. light waves).
What is non mechanical wave?
Non mechanical waves are Eletro magnetic waves. We can devide 2 waves. 1 is mechanical waves & 2 is electromagnetic waves. For example Sound is a mechanical wave & Light is an electromagnetic wave.
Name a kind of wave that does not require a medium?
Electromagnetic waves, such as light and radio waves, do not require a medium to propagate. They can travel through a vacuum, like outer space, because they are made up of oscillating electric and magnetic fields.
Will electromagnetic waves pass though walls that light can't?
First of all ... light is electromagnetic waves. But we think we understand what you're asking ...Can longer or shorter electromagnetic waves get in where light can't ?Here's a 'thought experiment' that can answer that question:1). Can you listen to your radio down in a dark part of your basement where there's no sunlight?2). Can the x-ray machine at the airport check items inside your suitcase or briefcase ?(Here's a small hint: The answer to both questions is 'Yes'.)
What are 2 examples of electromagnetic waves?
Transverse and Compressional electromagetic waves Another opinion: No electromagnetic waves are compressional waves. They're all transverse. I think what the question was looking for is: -- Heat and visible light -- Radio waves and X-rays -- Ultraviolet and gamma rays etc.
What are 2 electromagnetic waves?
gamma, x-rays, microwaves, visible light, infrared, radio waves
What is non mechanical wave?
Non mechanical waves are Eletro magnetic waves. We can devide 2 waves. 1 is mechanical waves & 2 is electromagnetic waves. For example Sound is a mechanical wave & Light is an electromagnetic wave.
What are types of transverse waves?
A transverse wave is a wave in which the direction of displacement is perpendicular to the direction of propagation, as a surface wave of water. Another name for this word is an electromagnetic wave.
What are types of waves?
there are 7 types of waves : 1.sinusoidal waves 2.Plane waves 3.Standing waves 4.Mechanical waves 5.Electromagnetic waves 6.Quantum mechanical waves 7.Gravitational waves
Why can two radio stations send signals out into the same space at the same time?
Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation similar to visible light. If there were 2 light sources with different color light you would not have any problem seeing both colors. It is the same with radio waves on different wavelengths.
5 examples of waves?
Ocean waves: These are created by the wind blowing across the surface of the ocean. Sound waves: These are vibrations that travel through a medium (such as air) and allow us to hear. Light waves: These are electromagnetic waves that allow us to see and come in different wavelengths. Seismic waves: These are waves generated by the movement of tectonic plates during an earthquake. Radio waves: These are used for communication and broadcasting and are part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Define wave and its types?
a wave is a phenomenon that transfers energy, not matter. there are 2 types of waves: transverse e.g. light and longitudinal e.g. sound, seismic im not that good at physics, but that's the best i can come up with, sorry ^^;;
Are sound waves light waves?
No, sound waves are not light waves. The two are completely different.Sound waves are longitudinal mechanical waves, while light waves are transverse electromagnetic waves, and sound requires a medium through which to travel, but light does not.A brief outline of key differences between light waves and sound waves:Sound requires a medium (gas, liquid, air) to travel through. Light does not.Light can also be treated as a particle, sound cannot.How you calculate the energy of a sound, or light wave is also different. Light energy is related to the frequency (or wavelength, these two values are closely related) - "E=hf". The energy of a sound wave is related to it's amplitude (|a|2)and frequency.The speed of sound is relative to the speed of the observer, while the speed of light is constant, regardless of the speed of the observer.Sound is a pressure wave, a region of higher and lower densities in a material, moving through the material. Light is an oscillation in the strength of electrical and magnetic fields moving through space.They are different types of waves, sound is a compression or longitudinal wave, light is a transverse wave.
What travles at the speed of light?
All electromagnetic radiation does, and nothing else does.
What are the two different types of waves?
transverse and longitudinal Well, it depends on what your teacher explained. However earthquakes can be: 1) tectonic, 2) volcanic or can be 1) natural, 2) induced (that is induced by human activity, such as mines and reservoirs). Any scientific site like that of the USGS could be a useful source of information.
