What kind of wave can travel only through matter?

A mechanical wave, such as a sound wave, can only travel through matter because it requires a medium to propagate. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through both matter and empty space.


A wave that can travel through empty space or through matter?

An electromagnetic wave can travel through empty space or through matter. Examples include light, radio waves, and X-rays. These waves do not require a medium for propagation.


How an electromagnetic wave can travel throught space that contains no matter?

The wave is a disturbance in the electric and magnetic field in space. These fields exist even in empty space.


A wave that can travel only through matter?

A wave that can travel only through matter is termed mechanical wave.


Can sound wave travel through space or matter?

Type your answer here... yes because of the vibration


What kind of wave is able to travel through both matter and empty space?

Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through both matter and empty space. This is because electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to propagate, unlike mechanical waves such as sound waves which rely on a medium such as air or water.


What is a wave that only can travel through matter?

A wave of kinetic energy requires a medium to travel though.


What state of matter travels through waves?

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 does an electromagnetic wave do?

can travel through matter


Why an electromegnetic wave can travel through empty space that contains no matter?

Because an electromagnetic wave is a wave that doesn't oscillate matter, rather it oscillates between electric and magnetic fields, a phenomenon that requires no matter. In fact, the only thing that matter does, with all of its tiny, little electromagnetic fields coming from the atoms inside of it, is slow the wave down.


Why does an electromagnetic wave in space never slow down?

In empty space, an electromagnetic wave can only travel at one speed - the speed of light.In empty space, an electromagnetic wave can only travel at one speed - the speed of light.In empty space, an electromagnetic wave can only travel at one speed - the speed of light.In empty space, an electromagnetic wave can only travel at one speed - the speed of light.


How do the suns ray's travel to earth?

Light is a wave that travels through space across matter. The same way that waves travel from the center of a pond to the edges when you toss a stone in it.
