What else can I help you with?
Waves that do require a medium are called?
Sound waves, they need a medium to vibrate.A2. Earthquake waves and other mechanical waves also need a medium for their transmission.Ghv. Tsunamis are a type of mechanical wave, which is the kind of wave you're looking for.
What waves need a medium and which don't?
Mechanical waves, such as sound waves and ocean waves, require a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) to propagate. Electromagnetic waves, including light waves and radio waves, do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
What waves need a medium to travel in?
Mechanical waves, such as sound waves, require a medium to travel through. These waves propagate by causing particles in the medium to vibrate and transfer the energy of the wave. Electromagnetic waves, such as light waves, do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
Is it true that longitudinal waves never need a medium to transport the energy?
No, longitudinal waves do need a medium to transport energy. These waves propagate by compressing and rarefying the medium in the direction of the wave's travel, and they cannot travel through a vacuum. For example, sound waves in air are longitudinal waves that require the air medium for propagation.
What is it called when waves are bent?
When waves change direction as they travel from one medium to another, it is called refraction. This bending of waves occurs due to a change in speed as the waves move from a medium with one density to a medium with a different density.

What are sound waves called?
Sound waves are called mechanical waves cause they need a material medium for their flow. Not only are they mechanical, but compression & lonqitudinal. -Apex:)

Does waves need a medium to travel through?
No. Electromagnetic waves travel through vacuum ( ie space where there is nothing)
What waves need a medium to travel in?

What types of waves require a medium?
Mechanical waves.For example, sound waves, ocean waves, etc.Many waves need a medium to travel: sound waves, water waves, and seismic waves.Electromagnetic waves do not need a medium.
Is it true that longitudinal waves never need a medium to transport the energy?
No, longitudinal waves do need a medium to transport energy. These waves propagate by compressing and rarefying the medium in the direction of the wave's travel, and they cannot travel through a vacuum. For example, sound waves in air are longitudinal waves that require the air medium for propagation.
Does light travels in waves and is required in a medium?
Yes, it travels in waves, but it doesn't need a medium.
Do em waves need a medium?
no
What kind of waves are mechanical?
Those waves which required medium for propagation are called mechanical waves. e.g sound waves,they need medium i.e solid liquid or gas ,to propagate. They cant travel through vacuum. hope u understand that!!
What is it called when waves are bent?
When waves change direction as they travel from one medium to another, it is called refraction. This bending of waves occurs due to a change in speed as the waves move from a medium with one density to a medium with a different density.
Waves that do not not need a medium?
Two waves that do not require a medium to travel would be light waves and gravitational waves. - Zach Harris, B.S. Physics
