Electromagnetic waves can travel without a medium.

Explanation:

The main property of the waves is the way how they propagate or travel in medium. The waves which can travel without a medium is said to travel in vacuum or air.

Hence electromagnetic waves are capable of travelling with and without medium whereas mechanical waves always requires a medium for it to propagate. There are a wide range of electromagnetic waves depending upon their wavelength.

What is the entropy of isolated system?

melamori03 [73]

Answer: Entropy is the measure of the disorder of a system

Explanation:

Entropy is a thermodynamic quantity defined as a criterion to predict the evolution or transformation of thermodynamic systems. In addition, it is used to measure the degree of organization of a system.

In other words: Entropy is the measure of the disorder of a system and is a function of state. That is, it depends only on the state of the system.

However, in the case of an isolated system in an irreversible process, the value of entropy increases in the course of a process that occurs naturally. While in a reversible process the entropy of the isolated system remains constant.
