Which pair of properties apply to both sound and electromagnetic waves? A) Both waves carry energy and refract. B) Both waves are longitudinal and carry energy. C) Both waves are transverse and matter from one place to another. D) Both waves carry energy and do not need a medium to travel through

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: both waves carry energy. Please think about the sun, which sends its energy by means of the electromagnetic radiation, or the sound of a piano, which is able to vibrate the eardrum of the ears, and motion is a synonym of energy Furthermore, electromagnetic waves don't need of a medium in order to propagate from a point to another point FInally, only the sound waves are longitudinal waves

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

D?

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

Hi master!!!! <3

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hi!! :)

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I'm sorry, option D is a wrong option, since sound waves need of a medium in order to propagate

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

shoot i forgot about the second part of the option....hmmmm let me think.

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

B?

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

or C?

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

CCCCCCCCCCC final answer

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

no lol :) Please note that both of types of waves are able to refract

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

i don't know what refract means X(

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

the phenomenon of refraction happens when a sound wave or an electromagnetic wave propagates from one type of medium to another type of medium, for example from air to water, and such mediums have different densities

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

in such propagation, we have a direction change of the wave

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

i haven't studied it in physics yet.... but thanks and i love you!!!!!!!!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

:) please wait, wht is the right option?

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

oops... what* is the right option?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that's right!! :)

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

:)

OpenStudy (michele_laino):
