What type of waves can be transmitted in a vacuum?

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.


You can hear sounds transmitted through air water or steel but not through the empty vacuum of space. What type of wave carries sound?

A pressure wave in a substance- a Primary or P wave. A vacuum is an absence of substance- nothing there to compress.


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 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.


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.


Are microwaves in space?

yes, they are also a type of electromagnetic waves. any EM wave can travel in space as they can pass through vacuum.


How can the command centre communicate with the space ship in space if outer space is a vacuum?

They use radio waves which are a type of electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum Ligth is a type of electromagnetic wave and that travels through space from the sun and the stars.


What is a completely empty space?

A completely empty space is a vacuum, devoid of any particles or matter. It is a space where the pressure is significantly lower than that of the surrounding environment. This type of space is rare in nature but can be created artificially in controlled environments.


Which type of thermal energy transfer can occur in empty space or a vacuum?

Radiation is the only form of thermal energy transfer that can occur in empty space or a vacuum. Radiation does not require a medium to transfer heat because electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum.


What is heat transfer through empty space?

Heat transfer through empty space is known as radiation. It does not require a medium (such as air or water) for heat to travel and can occur in a vacuum. This type of heat transfer is how the sun's energy reaches us on Earth.


Light waves are a type of transverse wave that can travel through space or a vacuum. This means that unlike other types of waves light waves?

do not require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. They can travel through the vacuum of space because they are composed of oscillating electric and magnetic fields.


What is the energy that can travel through empty space or through matter?

Electromagnetic energy, such as light and radio waves, can travel through empty space or through matter. This type of energy does not require a medium to propagate and can travel vast distances through the vacuum of space.
