light waves
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.
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.
Sound cannot travel through a vacuum, such as in outer space. "Sound" refers to waves of compression which travel through matter. When there is no matter, there can be no such waves, and therefore no sound.
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.
Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can be transmitted through the vacuum of space as they do not require a medium to propagate.
Sound waves transmit sound through a solid, as well as air and water. Sound waves cannot be transmitted through a vacuum.

Sound waves cannot propagate in a vacuum. Sound waves travel through matter, and a vacuum is, by definition, the absence of matter.
Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can be transmitted through the vacuum of space as they do not require a medium to propagate.
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.
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.
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.
Sound waves cannot propagate in vacuum because they require a medium to travel through such as air, water, or solids. Sound waves propagate through the vibration of particles in the medium, so without a medium to carry the vibrations, sound waves cannot travel in vacuum.
True.
