<u>Answer:</u> The correct statement is mechanical waves require a medium and electromagnetic waves do not.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves differ in the way of propagation.

Electromagnetic waves are the waves which does not require a medium to  travel through. These waves can travel through vacuum. These waves have electrical and magnetic component associated with them. Light waves are a type of electromagnetic waves.

Mechanical waves are the waves that require a medium to travel through. They transport energy from one location to the other with the help of particles present in the medium. These waves travel faster in solids because the particles lie closer to each other. Sound waves are a type of mechanical waves.

Hence, the correct statement is mechanical waves require a medium and electromagnetic waves do not.

A retail gasoline pump is able to fill a 14.0 gallon automobile tank in 1.50 minutes. What is the mass flow rate deliverd by the
Ludmilka [50]

We have volume of gasoline = 14.0 gallon

Time taken to fill automobile tank = 1.50 minutes

So volume rate = 14.0 gallon/1.50 minutes = 9.33 gallon/ minute

We have density of gasoline = 0.77 kg/L = 6.073 lb/US gal

Mass rate = Density * Volume rate

                 = 9.33 gallon/ minute*6.073 lb/US gal = 56.68 lb/min

So mass flow rate delivered by the gasoline pump in lbm/min = 56.68

Ranking Task: The Electromagnetic Spectrum
shutvik [7]

The increasing order of the wavelength from left to right are as follows Gamma Rays <  X-rays < UV rays < visible rays < infrared rays < microwaves < radio waves.

The electromagnetic spectrum consists of many waves which are made up of electric field and the magnetic field.

It is said that the electromagnetic wave behaves like particle as well as the wave.

The particle like pieces of the wave are called photons which contains the energy of the wave and the electromagnetic waves are primarily decided by the wavelength and the frequency of the wave.

The group of electromagnetic waves are known as electromagnetic spectrum.

The electromagnetic wave in the order of increasing wavelength are Gamma Rays <  X-rays < UV rays < visible rays < infrared rays < microwaves < radio waves.
