Transcribed Image Text:What do all waves do?
Move a medium side to side.
Cause energy to move from one place to another.
Make people stand up and sit down, going around a stadium.
Say good bye to people.
What is the difference between Mechanical waves and Electromagnetic waves?
Mechanical waves are all transverse waves like most Electromagnetic waves.
Mechanical waves are all longitudinal waves like most Electromagnetic waves.
Mechanical waves need a medium/material to move through, Electromagnetic waves
don't need a medium/material to move through.
Electromagnectic waves are all longitudinal waves like many Mechanical waves.

- Please solve and answer the question correctly please. Be sure to give the correct units and answers. Thank you!!arrow_forwardHow is the potential energy associated with an electromagnetic wave shared between the electric and magnetic fields? O there is no potential energy associated with an electromagnetic wave more of the energy is in the electric field it is equally shared between them O more of the energy is in the magnetic fieldarrow_forwardIs it possible for an electromagnetic wave to travel through a vacuum? Explain. Yes, unlike a mechanical wave the electromagnetic wave does NOT require a medium in which to propagate.No, like a mechanical wave the electromagnetic wave requires a medium in which to propagate. There is not enough information to determine whether the wave propagates or not.arrow_forward
