Answer 1

All waves must ____ have to travel through

Explanation:

Wave

It is the periodic disturbance in a medium.

Types of Wave

There are two types of wave in general depending upon their propagation through a substance.

• Mechanical  

• Electromagnetic  

Mechanical Wave

It is the kind of wave which needs medium to travel. For example: Sound Wave  

That means sound can be heard only whenever there is presence of certain substance like water, glass, air etc .It can’t be heard in vacuum no matter how loud is the sound.

Electromagnetic Wave

Is that which can travel through medium as well as through vacuum. For example: Light  

But unlike sound, light can be seen through a substance or in vacuum. That is the reason it is referred as electromagnetic wave.
