It's pure energy.

The term wave is left over from the time that it was thought that a medium might exist (the eather). i.e. before Einstein and photons.

Do sound require a medium?

Sound waves need a medium to propagate. Light-waves and other electromagnetic wave (radio, xray) do not.


Are radio waves a type of mechanical wave or a type of electromagnetic wave?

Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic wave. They do not require a medium to travel through and can travel through a vacuum, unlike mechanical waves which require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate.


A mechanical wave genrally does NOT?

A mechanical wave generally does NOT require a medium to propagate.


What wave which require a material medium to propagate?

Mechanical waves, like sound waves or ocean waves, require a material medium to propagate because they rely on the vibration or movement of particles in the medium to transmit energy. Electromagnetic waves, such as light or radio waves, do not require a material medium and can travel through a vacuum.


Name the one type of wave that does not require a medium?

Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to propagate. They can travel through a vacuum, such as the waves that make up light, radio waves, and X-rays.


Does every wave has a medium?

No, not all waves require a medium. Electromagnetic waves, such as light and radio waves, can travel through a vacuum because they consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields. These waves do not require a medium to propagate.


What is the one kind of wave that does not require a medium?

Electromagnetic waves, such as light and radio waves, do not require a medium to propagate. They can travel through empty space because they consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields.


Does x-ray wave need a medium?

No, X-rays do not require a medium to propagate. They are a form of electromagnetic radiation, like light and radio waves, that can travel through a vacuum.


Does every wave have a medium?

No, not every wave requires a medium. Electromagnetic waves, such as light waves, can travel through a vacuum because they do not require a material medium to propagate. Sound waves, on the other hand, do require a medium, such as air, water, or solids, to propagate.


Which one of the following is not an example of a mechanical wave water wave earthquake wave sound wave or radio wave?

Radio wave is not an example of a mechanical wave because it is an example of an electromagnetic wave. Mechanical waves require a medium to propagate, while electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum.


Which type of wave does not move in a medium?

Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to propagate and can travel through the vacuum of space. Examples of electromagnetic waves include light, radio waves, and X-rays.


What type of wave does not need a medium?

An electromagnetic wave does not need a medium. It is able to pass through a vacumn.
