Gujarat BoardEnglish MediumSTD 11 ScienceJEESTD 12 - 8. Electromagnetic waves4 Marks
MCQ
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
  • ✓
    Electromagnetic waves carry both energy and momentum as they propagate through space
✓

Answer

Correct option: D.
Electromagnetic waves carry both energy and momentum as they propagate through space
d
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
