8.Electromagnetic waves
easy
Select the correct statement from the following
A
Electromagnetic waves cannot travel in vacuum
B
Electromagnetic waves are longitudinal waves
C
Electromagnetic waves are produced by charges moving with uniform velocity
D
Electromagnetic waves carry both energy and momentum as they propagate through space
(JEE MAIN-2013)
Solution
Electromagnetic waves do not required any medium to propagate. They can travel in vacuum. They are transverse in nature like light. They carry both energy and momentum. A changing electric field produces a changing magnetic field and vice-versa . Which gives rise to a transverse wave known as electromagnetic wave
