### Understanding Waves That Can Travel Without a Medium**Which of the following are waves that can travel without a medium?** *Select all that apply.*- [ ] visible light- [ ] seismic waves- [ ] radio waves- [ ] sound waves- [ ] waves on a lake- [ ] x-rays#### Explanation:In physics, waves are disturbances that transfer energy from one place to another without the transfer of matter. Waves can be classified based on whether they need a medium (substance) to travel through. Electromagnetic waves, for example, can travel not only through air and solid materials but also through the vacuum of space.- **Electromagnetic Waves:** Examples include visible light, radio waves, and x-rays. These waves do not need a medium to travel and can propagate through the vacuum of space.- **Mechanical Waves:** Examples include seismic waves, sound waves, and waves on a lake. These waves require a medium (such as air, water, or solid ground) to travel.**Answers:**1. **Visible light**: Electromagnetic wave, can travel without a medium.2. **Seismic waves**: Mechanical wave, requires a medium (solid ground).3. **Radio waves**: Electromagnetic wave, can travel without a medium.4. **Sound waves**: Mechanical wave, requires a medium (air, water, etc.).5. **Waves on a lake**: Mechanical wave, requires a medium (water).6. **X-rays**: Electromagnetic wave, can travel without a medium.
