What else can I help you with?
Can electromagnetic waves pass through vacuum?
Yes they can. Sunlight is just such a wave!
What do you call any disturbance that lets energy pass through matter or empty space?
A wave
Can sound energy pass through an empty space?
Never. Sound propagates as longitudinal waves which are a kind of mechanical waves. These waves require a medium for them to pass. The medium can be either solid, liquid or gaseous. Thus, in empty space i.e. vacuum, sound can never pass.
Why do light waves require a medium in which to travel?
Light waves do not require a medium through which to travel. They will travel (propagate) perfectly well in a vacuum. Otherwise, light would not pass through the vacuum of space. It would be very dark here on earth as the light from the sun, moon and stars could not reach Earth through the vacuum of space.
What does light pass through on its way to earth?
Light passes through the vacuum of outer space as it travels from the sun to the Earth. It does not require a medium such as air or water to propagate.
Can sound energy pass through empty space?
No.
How can UV light be transmitted without a fiberoptic cable?
Just like visible light, UV (ultraviolett) light can also pass through empty space, or air.
Can gamma rays travel through empty space?
Yes, gamma rays can travel through empty space because they are a form of electromagnetic radiation like light. They are the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation and can pass through most materials, including empty space, due to their high penetrating power.
What is the Medium through which light and magnetism pass through in space?
A vacuum
Can electromagnetic waves pass through vacuum?
Yes they can. Sunlight is just such a wave!
What do you call any disturbance that lets energy pass through matter or empty space?
A wave
How can radiation pass through empty spaces?
It depends on what radiation you are talking about. Electromagnetic waves (this includes visible light) are waves in the electric and magnetic field of space; transmitting this as a wave requires no atoms, just space itself.
Can sound energy pass through an empty space?
Never. Sound propagates as longitudinal waves which are a kind of mechanical waves. These waves require a medium for them to pass. The medium can be either solid, liquid or gaseous. Thus, in empty space i.e. vacuum, sound can never pass.
What is the name of the thermal energy that travels in waves and can pass through empty space as well as some objects?
radiation
How is heat transferred through empty space?
Light energy, like from the sun.
How can light or radio waves pass through the nothingness of space and isn't that evidence of a somethingness?
light and radio waves are energy themselves, so they are not dependent on "something" being there to travel through as sound is. the reason that sound cannot pass through a vacuum is because it is a set of energy waves that flow through the molecules of the substance. causing the first molecule to bump into the second, second into the third, third to the fourth and so on.
How does light travel through a window?
Light travels through two things: either empty space, or space which contains transparent materials. Some paterials are only partially transparent or translucent, in which case some light does travel through it, but not all the light will get through.
