What happens when a sound wave travels through a medium?
Sound waves travel through any medium with the exception of vacuum. The denser the medium, the faster the sound waves travel, because the waves can be farther apart..
Do radio waves need a medium to travel through?
Radiation doesnt need a medium because it travels through space
What do electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves have in common?
They can both travel through a medium.
Why does a sound wave travel through a medium?
waves are easily travel in medium.....
Electromagnetic waves can travel through a?
Vacuum
What happens when a sound wave travels through a medium?
Sound waves travel through any medium with the exception of vacuum. The denser the medium, the faster the sound waves travel, because the waves can be farther apart..
What happens to the wavelength of electromagnetic waves as they travel through a denser medium?
The waves become smaller.
What type of wave requires no medium to travel through?
Waves need not require medium to travel through. Only Mechanical waves like sound waves require medium to travel through. Electromagnetic waves travel in vaccum like light waves. Some waves transmitted in a medium due to disturbances in the medium .
Explain what happens when waves encounter a medium that they cannot travel through?
They reflect back.
Do radio waves need a medium to travel through?
Radiation doesnt need a medium because it travels through space
What do electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves have in common?
They can both travel through a medium.
The matter through which a wave travels is called what?
a medium. but longitudinal waves do not have to travel through a medium. This is why transverse waves cannot vibrate through space.a medium. but longitudinal waves do not have to travel through a medium. This is why transverse waves cannot vibrate through space.
What are three medium waves can travel through?
Not all waves require mediums to propagate.Sound waves can travel through solid, liquid and gaseous mediums, while, electromagnetic waves do not require any medium to travel through.
Why does a sound wave travel through a medium?
waves are easily travel in medium.....
What can waves travel through?
Sound waves need a medium to travel through - the medium may be solid, liquid, or gaseous. Electromagnetic waves (including light) can also travel through empty space.
What material do waves travel through?
They travel through a material medium.
Due mechanical waves need a medium to travel through?
Yes, mechanical waves do need a medium in order to travel. Other waves, such as light, do not (thus they can travel through space).
