Electromagnetic waves, such as light waves and radio waves, can be transmitted in a vacuum because they do not require a medium to travel through. These waves propagate through the vacuum of space and can travel long distances without the need for a medium.

Which type of wave can be transmitted through the vacuum of space is what type of wave?

Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can be transmitted through the vacuum of space as they do not require a medium to propagate.


Which type of waves cannot be transmitted through vacuum?

Mechanical waves, such as sound waves, require a medium (such as air, water, or solid material) to travel and cannot propagate through a vacuum. Electromagnetic waves, on the other hand, do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.


Can wave energy only be transmiitted through a material medium?

No, wave energy can also be transmitted through a vacuum, as seen with electromagnetic waves like light. These waves do not require a material medium for propagation, unlike mechanical waves such as sound waves.


Can rf can travel in vacuum?

Yes, radiofrequency (RF) waves can travel through vacuum because they are a type of electromagnetic radiation that does not require a medium like air or water to propagate. This is why RF communication, such as satellite signals, can be transmitted through space.


Can compression waves be transmitted through a vacuum of space?

no the only waves that can go through space is the electromagnetic waves and it doesnt need sound or matter to travel.compressional waves have to come off of something and travel{like sound} it cant travel because there is nothing to travel through.the vacuum of space is just nothing and only light can go through as well, but it takes time.


Can light be transferred across empty space?

Yes. Electromagnetic waves, like light, can travel through a vacuum, they need no medium in order to be transmitted. Unlike sound waves, which are compression waves what rely on matter in order to be transmitted.


What are both sound energy an light energy transmitted as?

Sound energy is transmitted as mechanical waves that propagate through a medium such as air, water, or solids. Light energy, on the other hand, is transmitted as electromagnetic waves that do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.


What could conclude that sound is transmitted fastest in a. solids b. liquids c. gases d. a vacuum?

Sound is transmitted fastest in solids because the particles are closely packed, allowing for faster vibration and transmission of sound waves. Liquids come next, followed by gases, and sound cannot be transmitted through a vacuum as there are no particles to carry the sound waves.


What transmits a sound through solid?

Sound waves transmit sound through a solid, as well as air and water. Sound waves cannot be transmitted through a vacuum.


Is medium required to transmit light waves?

No. light waves required no medium for transmission.


What type of energy is a trumpet?

Kinetic energy is transmitted by sound waves in air.


Which type of energy is transmitted by vibrations of air?

Sound waves are transmitted in this manner.
