How are electromagnetic waves similar to water waves?
They start from the middle, and spread out equally.
What is the bending of waves as they move around a barrier or pass through an opening called?
Diffraction
How are water waves different from electromagnetic waves?
electromagnetic waves can travel through vacuum while water waves travel in water.
How are electromagnetic or light waves different from water and sound waves?
Light waves and electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space. Water waves can only travel through matter. Hope this helped!
If a rock is dropped in water and waves spread over the flat surface of the water What becomes of the energy in these waves when they die out?
It ultimately turns into heat.

Sound waves entering through a doorway spread to all parts of a room because?
waves bounce.
Are water waves compressional waves?
Compressional waves are waves that produce compression and rarefaction when traveling through a medium. Water waves are not considered as compressional waves.
How are electromagnetic (or light) waves different from water and sound waves?
Light waves and electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space. Water waves can only travel through matter. Hope this helped!

Diffraction occurs when waves what around the edge of a barrier?
Diffraction occurs when waves bend around the edge of a barrier.
Which one of the following is NOT an example of a compressional wave a wave moving through a coiled spring sound traveling through the air sound traveling through water green light traveling thru air?
Light is an example of an electromagnetic (EM) wave. EM waves are transverse waves, not compressional waves. Sound waves are compressional waves, so both sound traveling through air and water would be compressional. Waves traveling along a coiled spring compress the coils together and spread them apart, so this is also an example of a compressional wave.
Do waves travel through water?
Waves travel through everything, whether they are composed of solidity or not.
