It is possible for a medium itself to travel, but in that case case it isn't called a wave, but a current. For example, water flowing in a river.
A mechanical wave, such as a sound wave or a water wave, requires a medium to travel because it relies on the vibration or movement of particles in the medium to propagate energy. Without a medium, these waves cannot transfer their energy.
A mechanical wave, such as a sound wave or water wave, requires a medium (substance) to travel through. In a mechanical wave, the energy is transferred through the medium by the vibration of particles.
No, radio waves do not need a medium to travel through. They are a type of electromagnetic wave that can travel through a vacuum, such as space. They can also travel through other mediums, such as air or water.
The medium of a wave is the matter a wave travels through.So yeah, if you wiggle a rope, the medium isn't the air around the rope... the medium is the rope itself!
A mechanical wave is a type of wave that requires a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. Examples include sound waves and seismic waves. They transfer energy through the vibration of particles in the medium.
