Principles of Physics I
A vacuum is a space that is devoid of matter, meaning it has very low pressure and contains no particles. In the context of wave motion, a vacuum can affect the propagation of different types of waves, particularly electromagnetic waves, which can travel through a vacuum without needing a medium. Understanding how waves behave in a vacuum helps explain phenomena such as light's ability to travel through space and the difference between mechanical and electromagnetic waves.
congrats on reading the definition of Vacuum. now let's actually learn it.
