Heat in the form of infrared radiation can travel through many mediums, and some better than others. It can also travel through the vacuum of space. The more transparent the medium is to infrared radiation, the better it will travel through it.

∙ 14y agoOne of the most intriguing aspects of electromagnetic waves is that a medium is not necessary for them to propagate. However, they do have the ability to travel through many mediums, including air, glass, water, gas, and crystals. they propogate by creating their own electromagnetic field.

∙ 11y agolight waves are the only wave that require no medium to travel through. (hence the reason that light from the sun can reach earth, despite the lack of atmosphere). but they can travel through most things...say, air.

∙ 7y agoWaves can travel through many media, depending on their nature. Sound waves can go through solids, liquids and gases. Transverse shock waves can only travel through solids. Electromagnetic waves can go through some solids, liquids or gases, or through a vacuum.

Sound waves cannot travel on the?
Sound waves cannot travel through vaccum.
What do electromagnetic waves need to travel?
Electromagnetic waves don't need anything to travel. This kind of waves does not need a medium to move through, therefore they can even travel through outer space.
Does sound travels faster through water or air?
Sound waves travel faster through denser mediums, and water is denser than air, so sound travels faster through water than air
Unlike mechanical waves waves do not require a medium to travel through.?
Electromagnetic
What layer of earth will waves travel through faster?
The mantle of course.....because sound waves travel through liquid like surfaces better than solid rock.
What are three medium waves can travel through?
Not all waves require mediums to propagate.Sound waves can travel through solid, liquid and gaseous mediums, while, electromagnetic waves do not require any medium to travel through.
What are mediums that waves can travel through?
This depends a lot on the type of waves you're talking about. Sound waves, for example, can travel through water, solid, and air mediums, but not through a vacuum. Electromagnetic waves, however, can travel in a vacuum.
What are mediums that light waves can travel through?

What mediums do waves travel through fastest?
In a vacuum.
What mediums do sound waves travel through easiest?
Metals such as iron
Can Seismic waves travel through space?
NO! Seismic waves can't travel through space. They are mechanical waves. Mechanical waves require going through mediums and there isn't a medium in space.
What form does sound travel through a medium in?
Sound travels through mediums in sound waves.
What are the mediums that waves can travel through?
Waves can travel through many media, depending on their nature. Sound waves can go through solids, liquids and gases. Transverse shock waves can only travel through solids. Electromagnetic waves can go through some solids, liquids or gases, or through a vacuum.
Can Fluids transmit P waves?
Yes, P (longitudinal) waves can travel through solid, liquid, and gaseous mediums.
How are light and sound waves different in terms of speed type of wave and mediums?
Light waves travel at approx 300,000 kilometres per second, sound at approx 0.343 kilometres/second.Light waves can travel in vacuum or through some media (there is no such word as mediums!). Sound waves cannot travel through vacuum: they needs a physical medium.
How does sound waves travel?
Sound waves travel though mediums. Solids , liquids , and gas . It also travels though transverse and longitudinal. Also travel through the air......
Do Light Waves Require Mediums?
Light waves can travel through empty space. You might say that the empty space is the medium in this case.
