Question

Electromagnetic waves differ from other types of waves because they are

A. a continuous transfer of energy.
B. able to travel through a vacuum.
C. a visible form of energy.
D. able to move particles in a medium.

Answer 1

Correct answer choice is :

B) Able to travel through a vacuum.

Step-by-step explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are applied to carry long/short/FM wavelength radio waves, and TV/telephone/wireless signals or services. They are also effective for transferring energy in the form of microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet light, X-rays, and gamma rays. Electromagnetic waves change from mechanical waves in that they do not need a medium to generate. This means that electromagnetic waves can move not only in the air and solid matters but also in the void of space.

Answer 2

Electromagnetic waves differ from other types of waves because they are B. able to travel through a vacuum, whereas other types of waves cannot.
