It is electromagnetic radiation that needs no medium to travel in. Gamma rays, light and radio waves, all forms of electromagnetic radiation, can travel through the vacuum of space very well. In fact, they prefer it.

What type of wave can only travel through a medium?
A deshawn wave!
A type of energy that travels as a wave but does not require a medium through which to travel?
Light energy.
What is the relationship between the movement of the wave and the movement of the particles of the medium?
The dispersion relationship depends on the medium through which the waves propagate and on the type of waves (for instance electromagnetic, sound or water waves). For sound waves, the denser a medium is, the faster the waves will travel as particles will be closer together and thus energy can be transferred among them at a greater rate.
A type of wave that travels only in matter?
the only wave type that can travel through matter is sound. sound waves cause vibrations in the material, which means that the waves move faster the closer the atoms in the component are to each other. for example, water is denser then air, so sound will travel through the water faster than the air.
Light is one type of wave that can travel through empty space to transfer?
yes, electomagnetic
What type of wave does need medium to travel?
any wave of energy except for electromagnetic waves need a medium to travel through.
What type of vibration does not need a medium through which to travel?
Electromagnetic waves.
Name a type of wave does not need a medium to travel through?
An electromagnetic wave
What type of wave can transfer energy without medium?
the wave which does not travel through a medium is called electromagnetic wave.
What type of wave that does not need a medium though which to travel?
An electromagnetic wave does not need a medium through which to travel. This includes light, radio, TV, X-4ay, etc. The wave contains its own medium which is a photon.
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 .
What is a disturbance that moves through some type of matter or space?
a wave. Electromagnetic waves (such as light or radio waves) do not need a medium to travel through. Mechanical waves (such as sound waves) require a medium (matter) to travel through.
What type of medium does sound travel weakest through?
vacuum
What type of medium does an ocean wave travel through?
Water
What is the material called that waves travel through?
Any material through which any wave travels is called a medium. Ocean waves travel through the medium of seawater. Sound cannot travel through outer space, because there is no medium there to support sound waves. Mechanical waves such as sound and vibration require a medium through which to travel. Usually air, or a solid or liquid - matter in other words.
What type of medium is required by radio waves?
radio waves do not require a medium to travel,it can even travel through vaccum
What type of wave can only travel through a medium?
A deshawn wave!
