Yes, electromagnetic can travel without medium.

Mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves are two important ways that energy is transported in the world around us.

Waves in water and sound waves in air are two examples of mechanical waves.

Mechanical waves are caused by a disturbance or vibration in matter, whether solid, gas, liquid, or plasma.

Matter that waves are traveling through is called a medium.

These mechanical waves travel through a medium by causing the molecules to bump into each other, like falling dominoes transferring energy from one to the next.

Sound waves cannot travel in the vacuum of space because there is no medium to transmit these mechanical waves.

On the other hand electromagnetic waves don't require medium for its propagation.

An easy example would be light which is an EM wave reaches earth even though space has no medium.

A 30-cm long string, with one end clamped and the other free to move transversely, is vibrating in its second harmonic. The wave
Ann [662]

Answer:

\lambda = 40 cm

Explanation:

given data

string length = 30 cm

solution

we take here equation of length that is

L = n \times \frac{1}{4} \lambda     ...............1

so

total length will be here

L = \frac{\lambda}{2} +  \frac{\lambda}{4}\\

L = \frac{3 \lambda }{4}

so \lambda  will be

\lambda = \frac{4L}{3}\\\lambda = \frac{4\times 30}{3}

\lambda = 40 cm

Answer:

It's actually

F=ma

Force=Mass x Acceleration

So...when we inverse it..

It becomes:

Two cars A and B are moving with velocities 20 m/s and 15 m/s in the direction east and west respectively. If
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

<u>Distance</u><u> </u><u>between</u><u> </u><u>them</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>4</u><u>,</u><u>2</u><u>0</u><u>0</u><u> </u><u>meters</u><u>.</u>

Explanation:

Consinder car A:

{ \bf{distance =  speed \times time }}

substitute:

distance = 20 \times (2 \times 60) \\  = 2400 \: m

Consider car B:

distance = 15 \times (2 \times 60) \\  = 1800 \: m

since these cars move in opposite directions, distance between them is their summation:

distance \: between = { \sum(distance \: of \: each \: car)} \\  = 2400 + 1800 \\  = 4200 \: m
