In what ways can energy travel through empty space?
Electromagnetic waves, such as infrared and visible light
What is the speed of light in gold?
Visible light can only travel through objects that are transparent or translucent so all the visible light reflects of the gold which is why it is shiny
Can light travel through matter?
Yes! Light travels through any material that does not completely absorb it. Visible light can only travel through materials that are called either transparent or translucent. Visible light travels through glass all the time. Visible light also travels through your cornea and the gel-like material that is in your eyeball. There are other types of light than visible light, such as ultraviolet (UV). UV is light that has more energy than visible light. This is the type of light that can give you a sunburn. There are even more energetic types of light like X-rays. They go through lots of material that visible light can't -- like skin and organs, but they do not go through bones or teeth very well.
What can radio waves do that visible light cannot?
Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum.
Do ultraviolet waves travel at the speed of light in a vacuum?
Ultraviolet and visible light waves all travel at the same speed whenever they're all traveling through the same material.
Do sound waves have to travel through medians?
yes
What material does visible light not travel through?
An opaqe object. NO light can travel through it at all.
Which of the following waves does not require a medium through which to travel?
Any eletromagnetic wave. Light, visible or non visible.
Why is visible light considered to be radiant energy and can travel through empty space but sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum?
Well light is an electromagnetic wave and it pushes itself through space ,but sound requires particles to travel through and if there are no particles for it to travel through you have no sound
Can sound travel through different materials?
Sound can travel through a variety of materiels.
In what ways can energy travel through empty space?
Electromagnetic waves, such as infrared and visible light
Is this true or false mecanical waves din't need matter to travel through?
False, mechanical waves need a medium to travel through. Electromagnetic waves, such as visible light, don't.
What is the speed of light in gold?
Visible light can only travel through objects that are transparent or translucent so all the visible light reflects of the gold which is why it is shiny
Does light travel at different speeds through different materials?
no
Can light travel through matter?

Do infrared waves travel through a vacuum?
Yes, infrared waves are part of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum and all electromagnetic radiation will propagate through a vacuum.
Does sound travel through different matters?
Yes.
