What type of wave cannot travel completely through water?

The S Wave (Secondary Wave) cannot travel through water. On the P Wave (Primary Wave) and the Surface Wave can travel through water.


Can ultra sonic travel through vacuum?

No, ultrasound cannot travel through a vacuum because it requires a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. In a vacuum, there are no particles for the sound wave to travel through, so it cannot propagate.


What is the longitudinal wave that can travel only through matter?

A sound wave is a longitudinal wave that can travel only through matter, such as air, water, or solids. This type of wave involves the vibration of particles in the medium parallel to the direction of the wave's propagation. Sound waves require a medium to propagate and cannot travel through a vacuum.


What type of wave requires a medium to propagate and cannot travel through a vacuum?

The type of wave that requires a medium to propagate and cannot travel through a vacuum is called a mechanical wave.


Is light an example of mechanical wave?

No. Light is an example of an electromagnetic wave, which can travel through a vacuum. Mechanical waves must travel through a medium, and cannot travel through a vacuum.


Why transverse wave cannot travel through air or gas?

A transverse wave of light can travel through air or gas.


How does a mechanical wave transmit energy through a vacuum?

A mechanical wave cannot transmit energy through a vacuum because it requires a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. In a vacuum, there is no medium for the wave to travel through, so it cannot transfer energy.


Sound cannot travel through what?

Sound cannot travel through a vacuum because it requires a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. In the absence of a medium, there are no particles for the sound waves to travel through, so they cannot be transmitted.


What type of seismic waves cannot travel through water?

S-waves, or secondary waves, cannot travel through water because they oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Water lacks the necessary material properties (shear strength) to transmit these waves.


Can smell travel on a sound wave?

No, smell cannot travel on a sound wave. Smell is detected through the olfactory system in the nose, while sound waves are physical vibrations that travel through a medium like air, water, or solids.


What is the medium through which an ocean wave will travel?

An ocean wave will travel through a medium of water, with the energy of the wave causing the water particles to move in a circular orbit as the wave passes through. This movement transfers the energy of the wave across the water's surface.


Can a mechanical wave move through a vacuum answer?

No, mechanical waves require a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to propagate. Without a medium, like in a vacuum, there are no particles for the wave to travel through, so it cannot propagate. Sound waves, for example, can't travel through a vacuum.
