Select the 'WRONG' statement out of the following.
- A Electromagnetic waves do not require any medium for their propagation.
- B Electromagnetic waves can travel through vacuum waves speed of light
- C Material medium is necessary for propagation of electromagnetic waves.
- D Electromagnetic waves are transverse in nature.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Material medium is necessary for propagation of electromagnetic waves.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Electromagnetic waves can propagate through vacuum. This can be clearly understood from Maxwell's equations for EM waves. Selfsustaining electric and magnetic fields enable waves to travel through empty space.
