Jasper made a list of the properties of electromagnetic waves. Identify the mistake in the list. Electromagnetic Wave Properties 1. Are made up of an electric field and a magnetic field 2. Are longitudinal waves 3. Can travel through space 4. All travel at the same speed in a vacuum Line 1 has a mistake. Line 2 has a mistake. Line 3 has a mistake. Line 4 has a mistake.

Answer:

Statement 2 is wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

To check the statements in this exercise, let's describe the main properties of electromagnetic waves. Let's describe the characteristics

* they are transverse waves

* formed by the oscillations of the electric and magnetic fields

* the speed of the wave is the speed of light

with these concepts let's review the final statements

1) True. Formed by the oscillation of the two fields

2) False. They are transverse waves

3) True. Can travel by vacuum as they are supported by oscillations of the electric and magnetic fields

4) True. They all have the same speed of light

Statement 2 is wrong
