Yes, electromagnetic can travel without medium.

Mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves are two important ways that energy is transported in the world around us.

Waves in water and sound waves in air are two examples of mechanical waves.

Mechanical waves are caused by a disturbance or vibration in matter, whether solid, gas, liquid, or plasma.

Matter that waves are traveling through is called a medium.

These mechanical waves travel through a medium by causing the molecules to bump into each other, like falling dominoes transferring energy from one to the next.

Sound waves cannot travel in the vacuum of space because there is no medium to transmit these mechanical waves.

On the other hand electromagnetic waves don't require medium for its propagation.

An easy example would be light which is an EM wave reaches earth even though space has no medium.

The time it takes for one wavelength to pass a fixed point is known as:
laiz [17]
<span>The time it takes for one wavelength to pass a fixed point is known as PERIOD.

In fact, the period is defined as the time it takes a wave to make one complete oscillation: since the wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points of the wave with same shape, it means that the time it takes for one wavelength to pass a fixed point in space is exactly the period.</span>

Which colors of light represents the lowest visible frequency?
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

Red

Explanation:

Red is a colour which has the lowest frequency. Violet has the highest frequency. Frequency has a direct relationship with energy. This means the higher the frequency, the higher the energy. Red has the lowest energy of all the colors too.

The frequency and Energy has an inverse relationship with the wavelength.

However Red has the longest wavelength of about 620 - 780 nanometer.

How do you find period when you have frequency
nydimaria [60]

Period and frequency are mutual reciprocals.

Period = 1 / frequency .

Frequency = 1 / period

(Frequency) x (Period) = 1

Prove that f=ma where the symbols have their usual meaning.​
jekas [21]

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion:

Force is directly proportional to

Change of momentum/time taken

Change of momentum= mv-mu

where m is mass, u is initial velocity and v is final velocity. so,

F∝mv-mu/t

F∝m(v-u)/t

F∝ma (a=v-u/t)

F=kma where k is a constant

In SI units the value of k will become one so the equation will be:

F=ma
