Can electromagnetic waves travel through matter through a vacuum?
Electromagnetic waves such as light can pass through material medium such as water, glass etc and at the same time it could pass through vacuum ie a medium of free space.
What situation could sound not travel?
Sound cannot travel in a vacuum because it requires a medium, such as air, water, or a solid, to propagate. In the absence of a medium, there are no particles for the sound waves to travel through, resulting in silence.
How did Robert Boyle discover that sound can't travel through a vacuum?
he put his freind in an air le chamber (with out a mask) and asked him if he could hear him. when his friend did not reply he knew that he did not hear hime or that he was dead. Hope it helps!
Why do light waves require a medium in which to travel?
Light waves do not require a medium through which to travel. They will travel (propagate) perfectly well in a vacuum. Otherwise, light would not pass through the vacuum of space. It would be very dark here on earth as the light from the sun, moon and stars could not reach Earth through the vacuum of space.
Why the sound waves could not pass through vacuum?
Sound waves require a medium such as air, water, or solid materials to travel because they propagate through the vibration of molecules in that medium. In a vacuum, there are no molecules to vibrate and carry the sound wave, so it cannot travel through empty space.
What evidence do we have that light travel through a vacuum?
You create a vacuum in a lab, and then shine a light through it, and there is experimental proof that light travels through a vacuum. Alternatively, take the fact that light travels through space - if light could not travel through a vacuum, no light from the stars, the moon or the sun would ever reach our planet.

What does sound need to travel through?
Sound (and vibration) are a wave system of sequential compressions and rarefactions of a material. These waves are mechanical and do need a substance through which to travel. They cannot travel through a vacuum.

Can sound waves travel without a meduim?
No, sound waves require a medium to travel through. The medium could be a solid, liquid, or gas, but they cannot travel through a vacuum because there are no particles to transmit the vibrations that carry the sound.
Theorectically how long would it take sound to travel 1 parsect if it could travel through space?
The question is irrelevant, since sounds cannot be transmitted through space.
How could Neil Armstrong talk to Nixon through the vacuum of space?
The communication was done using radio signals which can be transmitted in a vacuum. Radio waves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum, as are light waves, x-rays and microwaves. Just as light from far distance stars travel through empty space and reach your eyes, so can radio waves travel through space to a radio receiver.
Why is sound not part of the electromagnetic spectrum?
Sound is a mechanical wave that requires a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. Electromagnetic waves, on the other hand, do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum. This fundamental difference in how they travel means that sound is not considered part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
What statement describes how electromagnetic wave travel?
Electromagnetic waves travel as a combination of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that propagate through space at the speed of light. These waves do not require a medium to travel through and can travel through a vacuum.
