Which property describes an electromagnetic wave and not a mechanical wave?
An electromagnetic wave does not require a medium to travel through, whereas a mechanical wave does. This property is known as the ability of an electromagnetic wave to propagate through a vacuum.
Which describes how electromagnetic waves travel?
Electromagnetic waves travel through space at the speed of light in a wave-like pattern, with oscillating electric and magnetic fields perpendicular to each other. These waves do not require a medium to propagate and can travel through a vacuum.
Why does an electromagnetic wave in space never slow down?
In empty space, an electromagnetic wave can only travel at one speed - the speed of light.In empty space, an electromagnetic wave can only travel at one speed - the speed of light.In empty space, an electromagnetic wave can only travel at one speed - the speed of light.In empty space, an electromagnetic wave can only travel at one speed - the speed of light.
What is the difference between a mechanical wave and an electromagnetic wave?
A mechanical wave requires a medium (such as air or water) to travel through, while an electromagnetic wave can travel through a vacuum (like space) because it does not need a medium.
Is light an example of mechanical wave?
No. Light is an example of an electromagnetic wave, which can travel through a vacuum. Mechanical waves must travel through a medium, and cannot travel through a vacuum.

What kind of wave does electromagnetic energy travel in?
The wave is called an electromagnetic wave.
Is electromagnetic a transverse wave?
Yes, electromagnetic radiation does travel as a transverse wave
Electromagnetic radiation is a transverse wave?
Yes, electromagnetic radiation does travel as a transverse wave
What kind of wave does light travel as?
Light is an electromagnetic wave.
Which describes how electromagnetic waves travel?

How does the light travel in the air?
As an electromagnetic wave.
What does an electromagnetic wave do?
can travel through matter

Is it possible for a electromagnetic wave to travel through a vacuum?
yes, they can travel.
