What else can I help you with?
In what ways can energy travel through empty space?
Electromagnetic waves, such as infrared and visible light
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?
Radio waves can penetrate obstacles like walls and buildings more effectively than visible light. They are also able to travel longer distances and can be easily transmitted through the Earth's atmosphere. Additionally, radio waves are used in communication technologies such as radar and broadcasting, which are not feasible with visible light.
What do different waves travel through?
Mechanical waves, such as sound waves, travel through a medium like air, water, or solids. Electromagnetic waves, like light and radio waves, can travel through a vacuum because they do not need a medium to propagate.
How does sound and visible light compare to origin?
Sound is a mechanical wave that requires a medium (like air, water, or solids) to travel through, while visible light is an electromagnetic wave that can travel through a vacuum. Sound waves travel slower than light waves and are typically experienced as pressure variations, while light waves travel much faster and are perceived as color. Both sound and light waves are forms of energy that propagate in waves.
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.
In what ways can energy travel through empty space?
Electromagnetic waves, such as infrared and visible light
Does light travel at different speeds through different materials?
no
Which waves can travel through a vaccum?
Electromagnetic waves, such as visible light, radio waves, microwaves, and X-rays, can travel through a vacuum. This is because they do not require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate.
Does sound travel through different matters?
Yes.
Does wave length travel through air?
"Wave length" is a measurement that describes a characteristic of a wave.If the wave is a mechanical one, like sound for example, it must have some kindof material to travel through. Air is a good one.If the wave is an electromagnetic one, like light or radio for example, it can travelthrough air, but it doesn't need anything to travel through.
Can light wave travel through air?
Yes, light waves can travel through air because air is a medium through which electromagnetic waves can propagate. Light travels at different speeds through different mediums, but it can definitely travel through air.
What kind of wave can travel through vacuum?
Electromagnetic waves, such as visible light, radio waves, and X-rays, can travel through vacuum because they do not require a medium to propagate. These waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that can travel through empty space.
What is 4 ways light waves can travel?
Light waves can travel can travel in different ways depending on the object. It can travel through a vacuum which is a complete airless place, mirror, but sound has to travel through a solid or gas.
What is a material that light can't travel through?
There is no known material that light cannot travel through. However, materials such as lead and thick concrete can significantly attenuate or absorb light, making them almost opaque to visible light.
