Electromagnetic waves.
What else can I help you with?
What does mechanical wave needs to travel?
Mechanical waves need a medium to travel through, such as air, water, or solids. These waves propagate by transferring energy from one particle to another within the medium. Without a medium, mechanical waves cannot travel.
Which energy transfer can involve energy transfer across vacuums?
Electromagnetic radiation, such as visible light or radio waves, can transfer energy across vacuums. This is because electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to propagate, enabling them to travel through empty space.
What type of mediums do sound waves travel trough?
Sound waves can travel through mediums such as air, water, and solid materials like metal or wood. The speed and behavior of sound waves can vary depending on the properties of the medium they are traveling through.
Can compressional waves travel through a vacuum?
No, compressional waves require a medium to travel through, so they cannot travel through a vacuum where there is no matter. Sound waves, which are compressional waves, cannot propagate through a vacuum.
What medium the waves travel in?
Waves typically travel through a medium, which can be a solid, liquid, or gas. For example, sound waves travel through air or water, while seismic waves travel through the Earth's crust. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through a vacuum as well as through certain materials like glass or air.
What to waves travel through?
Sound waves travel through matter. The only thing it doesn't travel through is vacuums or outer space.
Can both electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves move throgh space?
Yes, but mechanical waves need matter to travel through. EM waves can travel through vacuums as well.
Explain why cant sound travel through vacuums?
there is no air in a vaccum. and sound needs air for the sound waves to travel through.
A wave travels through space on its way to a communications satellite?
Electromagnetic waves do. They travel through almost complete vacuums.
What kind of sound waves do vacuums produce?
The vacuum does not produce sound waves nor, can sound waves travel through them. A sound wave needs something to travel on/through, such as air. A vacuum doesn't contain any particles required for sound waves.
What does mechanical wave needs to travel?
Mechanical waves need a medium to travel through, such as air, water, or solids. These waves propagate by transferring energy from one particle to another within the medium. Without a medium, mechanical waves cannot travel.
Are all waves compressional waves?
No, compressional waves travel through liquids and gases. Transverse waves pass through solids. You may also be forgetting electromagnetic waves such as light, radio, x-rays, etc that propagate in neither of these ways and can even pass through vacuums.
Which energy transfer can involve energy transfer across vacuums?
Electromagnetic radiation, such as visible light or radio waves, can transfer energy across vacuums. This is because electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to propagate, enabling them to travel through empty space.
What type of mediums do sound waves travel trough?
Sound waves can travel through mediums such as air, water, and solid materials like metal or wood. The speed and behavior of sound waves can vary depending on the properties of the medium they are traveling through.
Do radio waves need medium to travel?
light waves do not need a medium. Electromagnetic Waves (EM) do not need a medium. For example visible light, radio waves, microwaves, UV light and x-rays do not. These travel @ 300 million meters/sec in a vacuum.
Would you hear a bell on the moon?
No. Noise can't travel through vacuums.
Which property do all electromagnetic waves have in vacuums?
All electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light in a vacuum.
