Essentially any matter ( Solid, liquid or gas )

But not in a vacuum (ie in space)

What passes through a medium?

Waves, such as sound or light, can pass through a medium. The medium can be solid, liquid, or gas, and the particles in the medium vibrate or oscillate as the wave passes through. Energy and information can also pass through a medium in the form of waves.


What is the term for waves bending as they pass through a medium?

Refraction


Can radio waves pass through a vacuum?

Yes, radio waves can pass through a vacuum because they are a form of electromagnetic waves. Unlike sound waves, which require a medium to travel through, electromagnetic waves do not need a medium and can propagate through empty space.


What kind of waves can pass through a vacuum?

Electromagnetic waves, such as light waves and radio waves, can pass through a vacuum because they do not require a medium to propagate. Sound waves, on the other hand, require a material medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel through and cannot propagate through a vacuum.


What waves can pass through a vacuum?

Electromagnetic waves, such as visible light, radio waves, and X-rays, can pass through a vacuum because they do not require a medium for propagation. However, mechanical waves, like sound waves, cannot propagate in a vacuum because they need a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel through.


Can mechanical waves pass though a vacuum?

Mechanical waves can't pass through a vacuum. Mechanical waves need something to pass through. Space is generally considered a vacuum, with nothing in it to transmit a mechanical wave.


What is the only kind of wave that does not need a solid liquid or gas medium to pass through?

The only kind of wave that does not require a medium to pass through is an electromagnetic wave. These waves can travel through empty space and do not need a material medium for propagation. Examples of electromagnetic waves include light waves, radio waves, and X-rays.


What medium can a sound wave pass through?

Sound waves can pass through mediums such as air, water, and solids, as they require a material medium to propagate. Sound waves cannot pass through a vacuum as there are no particles for the waves to vibrate and travel through.


Can more than two waves pass through one medium?

Yes, they can pass through the same medium, but they will interfere with each other. It's like a bunch of people talking at once. The waves, in this case vibrations that we hear as sound, pass through the same medium, air. You will hear all the different people talking, but it will come across as random noise.


What do waves not transfer?

There are lots of things they don't transfer.


Which waves are bent as they pass from one medium to another medium of a different density?

Refraction is the bending of waves as they pass from one medium to another of different density. This occurs because the speed of the wave changes depending on the density of the medium it is passing through.


Do electromagnetic waves have to pass through a solid medium?

No, electromagnetic waves do not require a solid medium to travel through. They can travel through a vacuum, such as outer space. This is because electromagnetic waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields.
