Discuss the dual nature of electromagnetic waves and how they travel in a vacuum and through a medium?

Anything that begins with "Discuss" should not end in a question mark. You, sir or madam, are cheating and attempting to steal the answer to your FLVS (If I'm not mistaken) assignment and claim it as your own words. Tsk Tsk.
not my answer,(^) not my question, but holy crap, I'm in flvs and that is the question i am on right now (#4) in 9th grade physics class lesson 2.03.! so are u both in flvs?
haha, me tooo! & everywhere I've searched this question it's showed me someone busting someone for asking it, lmfao. which is wasting my time, because i can't find the answer. thanks,giirl.
1 im a guy, and 2, Whts ur flvs username
lol, MYB

What is the difference between compression wave and electromagnetic wave?
You mean longitudinal wave by compression wave? Electromagnetic wave is transverse in nature. It does not need a material medium. It can pass even through vacuum. But compression waves bady needs a material medium.
What three ways can differ electromagnetic waves from sound waves?
Electromagnetic waves are transverse in nature where as sound waves are longitudinal. Electromagnetic waves can pass even through vacuum but sound waves are mechanical waves that means it needs badly a material medium Sound waves can be sensed by ear where as electromagnetic waves are sensed by eyes.
Why did you say the sound depend ion the medium through which the sound travel?
Since sound waves need some medium to propagate or multiply through it follows that the nature or density of the medium would directly or indirectly affect the nature of the wave.
Is light considered a electromagnetic wave?
Light is said to be of dual nature so it has particle nature as well as wave nature but there is a difference in waves and electromagnetic waves. so ,as for your question "Is light a electromagnetic wave" the answer is "no"More precisely, if visible is not an electromagnetic wave, the NO part of the electromagnetic spectrum could be considered to be an electromagnetic wave. By any definition of the term, the answer is 'Yes'
Are xrays electromagnetic in nature?
Yes.

Do electromagnetic waves travel through a meidum by the speed of light?
Electromagnetic waves will travel with the same speed that light travels in that medium. Be careful though, the speed of light in vacuum or air is 300000 Km/s. That doesn't mean that in any medium it would be this. It depends on the nature of the medium. In any case, the first statement ALWAYS holds.
How does radiation travel?
The radiations are electromagnetic waves ,they don't require any medium for their travel.
Does the wave nature of light states that light needs a medium through which to travel in different waves?
Light been found as electromagnetic wave does not need any material medium to get propagated. Even in free space (vacuum) it is able to travel.
What three ways can differ electromagnetic waves from sound waves?
Electromagnetic waves are transverse in nature where as sound waves are longitudinal. Electromagnetic waves can pass even through vacuum but sound waves are mechanical waves that means it needs badly a material medium Sound waves can be sensed by ear where as electromagnetic waves are sensed by eyes.
What electromagnetic waves do not transport?
When photons collide with any matter, the radiation attenuates and energy is released as heat. There is variation in the ability of an electromagnetic wave to travel in a given medium, and its ability varies with the nature of the medium and the frequency of the electromagnetic wave. We know that we can see through window glass and clear acrylic plastic. But we can't see through a brick wall or a block of steel.
What is the nature of light and electromagnetic waves?
they are transverse waves, they can travel through a vacuum,
Why did you say the sound depend ion the medium through which the sound travel?
Since sound waves need some medium to propagate or multiply through it follows that the nature or density of the medium would directly or indirectly affect the nature of the wave.
Can a wave move through a substance called a medium?
When a wave passes through a substance, it gets transmitted through it. The speed of the wave changes depending on the nature of the substance.
