All forms of waves require a medium to propagate through, the only known wave like motion to not require a medium is light, however a medium call the Aether has been suggested to continue the idea that all forms of waves require a medium (tests to confirm the existence of the Aether all proved its non-existence). Light is special, however, as it seems to have properties of both particles and waves. I could of course be completely wrong however, so check with a physics teacher.
What else can I help you with?
Waves that require a medium through which to travel are called electromagnetic waves True or false?
False. Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to travel; they can propagate through a vacuum.
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.
What is a type of matter that waves can move through?
A type of matter that waves can move through is a medium. Waves require a medium to propagate, such as air for sound waves or water for water waves. The characteristics of the medium, such as density and elasticity, can affect the speed and behavior of the waves.
What kind of Heat transfer does not require matter?
Radiation is a form of heat transfer that does not require matter as a medium. Energy is transferred through electromagnetic waves, such as from the sun to the Earth.
What is a wave that requires a medium wave?
A mechanical wave, such as a sound wave or water wave, requires a medium (substance) to travel through. In a mechanical wave, the energy is transferred through the medium by the vibration of particles.

False. Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to travel; they can propagate through a vacuum.

The matter through which a wave travels is called what?
a medium. but longitudinal waves do not have to travel through a medium. This is why transverse waves cannot vibrate through space.a medium. but longitudinal waves do not have to travel through a medium. This is why transverse waves cannot vibrate through space.
What is a wave that requires a medium wave?
A mechanical wave, such as a sound wave or water wave, requires a medium (substance) to travel through. In a mechanical wave, the energy is transferred through the medium by the vibration of particles.
What wave can travel though space where there is no matter?
Electromagnetic waves, such as light and radio waves, can travel through the vacuum of space where there is no matter. These waves do not require a medium to propagate, unlike sound waves which require a medium such as air or water.
Which type of waves require matter in order to travel?
Mechanical waves require matter in order to travel. These waves propagate through a medium such as water, air, or a solid material by transferring energy through the vibration of particles in the medium. Examples of mechanical waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
What is a disturbance that moves through matter and space and carries energy?
A disturbance that moves through matter and space carrying energy is called a wave. Waves can be classified as mechanical waves that require a medium to propagate, such as sound waves, or electromagnetic waves that can travel through vacuum, such as light waves.
Waves require a medium in order for energy to be transferred. waves can either travel through a medium or through empty space?
E.M. waves require no medium. Sound waves require a medium.
What wave travels through only matter?
Sound waves. No medium (matter) to carry it, no sound.
How are electromagnet waves different from mechanical waves?
Electromagnetic waves can travel through space or a medium while mechanical waves need matter to transfer energy.Apex- They don't require a medium to travel through.
