It depends. Is it a mechanical wave or a electromagnetic wave? Mechanical waves (for example sound waves) travel trough every state of matter and they can't exist without matter. They don't travel through vacuum. Electromagnetic waves travel trough space and get interrupted only by other electromagnetic waves.

What is the relationship between a medium and the states of matter?

A medium is a substance that allows for the transfer of energy or information. In the context of states of matter, a medium can influence the behavior and properties of matter depending on whether it is a solid, liquid, or gas. For example, sound waves require a medium like air or water to travel through, with differences in the medium affecting the speed and propagation of the waves.


Which state of matter has medium density?

The liquid state of matter typically has medium density compared to solid and gas states. In liquids, particles are closer together compared to gases but not as tightly packed as in solids, resulting in medium density.


What type of heat transfer only happens in 2 States of matter?

Radiation is a type of heat transfer that can occur between two objects regardless of the states of matter they are in. It does not require a medium to propagate, making it possible for radiation to occur between objects in different states of matter.
