Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed that electromagnetic waves will travel within any medium is the same as those without a medium. The speed of electromagnetic wave is a constant and does not depend on the material of the medium.

  • Electromagnetic waves are waves that do not require a material medium for their propagation.
  • They are able to pass through vacuums and mediums with particles at constant speed.
  • It is mechanical waves whose speed is medium dependent.
  • Mechanical waves have varying speed based on the mediums they move through.
