Question

How are electromagnetic waves different from ocean waves?Question 1 options:Electromagnetic waves move perpendicular to the medium and ocean waves move parallel to the medium.There is not a difference between electromagnetic and ocean waves because they are both mechanical waves.Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium (They can move through space) and ocean waves require a medium.Electromagnetic waves transfer energy and ocean waves transfer motion.

Answer 1

The biggest difference between ocean waves and EM waves is that ocean waves move across water. Energy moves through the water. EM waves don't need anything to move through. They can move across the emptiness of outer space.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium (they can move through space) and ocean waves require a medium.

EXPLANATION

They are two different types of waves. Ocean waves are mechanical waves, which means that they need a medium to move - in this case, water.

On the other hand, electromagnetic waves are another type of wave. They do not need a medium, so they can move across vacuum - like in outer space.
