What waves require a medium and what waves do not?
Mechanical waves require a medium (substance) to travel in, other waves do not. For example, sound is a mechanical wave and require a medium (air, water, etc.), light is not a mechanical wave and does not require a medium
Do transverse waves require a medium to propagate?
No, transverse waves do not require a medium to propagate.
What are the two categories of classification of waves?
The two categories of classification of waves are based on their medium of propagation: mechanical waves, which require a medium to travel through, and electromagnetic waves, which can travel through a vacuum.
Are Electromagnetic waves and transverse waves two types of mechanical waves?
No, electromagnetic waves are not mechanical waves; they do not require a medium to travel through. Transverse waves are a type of mechanical wave that require a medium for propagation; examples include waves on a string or water waves.
Waves that do not require a medium are?
Electromagnetic waves do not require medium for propagation.
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
What waves require a medium and what waves do not?
Mechanical waves require a medium (substance) to travel in, other waves do not. For example, sound is a mechanical wave and require a medium (air, water, etc.), light is not a mechanical wave and does not require a medium
What is a wave that doesn't require a medium for propagation?
Electromagnetic waves (like light) don't require a medium for propagation, unlike mechanic waves (like sound).
Do transverse waves require a medium to propagate?
No, transverse waves do not require a medium to propagate.
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 are the two categories of classification of waves?
The two categories of classification of waves are based on their medium of propagation: mechanical waves, which require a medium to travel through, and electromagnetic waves, which can travel through a vacuum.
What distinguishes waves from mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves require a medium for their propagation whereas electromagnetic waves require a medium for their propagation.
Wave that does not require a medium?
All waves require a medium.
Are Electromagnetic waves and transverse waves two types of mechanical waves?
No, electromagnetic waves are not mechanical waves; they do not require a medium to travel through. Transverse waves are a type of mechanical wave that require a medium for propagation; examples include waves on a string or water waves.
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.
Waves that do not require a medium are?
Electromagnetic waves do not require medium for propagation.
What kind of wave does not require medium?
Electromagnetic waves, such as light waves and radio waves, do not require a medium to travel through. These waves can travel through a vacuum, unlike mechanical waves which require a medium to propagate, like sound waves in air or water waves in the ocean.
