The correct statement among the following is
- A Electromagnetic waves cannot travel in vacuum
- B Electromagnetic waves are longitudinal waves
- C Electromagnetic waves are produced by charges moving with uniform velocity
- D Electromagnetic waves carry both energy and momentum as they propagate through space.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Electromagnetic waves carry both energy and momentum as they propagate through space.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(a) is incorrect because EM wave doesn't require any medium to travel thus they can travel in vacuum. (b) is incorrect because EM waves are transverse waves. (c) is incorrect because EM waves are produced by an accelerating charge. (d) is correct as EM waves carry both energy…
