Option B is the correct answer. Electromagnetic waves don't need any medium for propagation. They can travel even in vacuum. 
On the other hand, mechanical waves need medium. For example, sound waves cannot travel in vacuum. 
Hope this helps.

Answer: Option 'A', 'C', and 'D' are correct.

Explanation:

The most important difference between electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves is :

Mechanical waves needs medium of material for their propagation whereas electromagnetic waves do not need any medium for their propagation.

Like sound waves needs medium to travel so it is considered as mechanical waves.

So, electromagnetic waves are self propagating whereas mechanical waves do not.

Electromagnetic waves travel as transverse wave whereas mechanical waves can be longitudinal and transverse or torsional.

Hence , option 'C' , 'A' and 'D' are correct.

What is the story of coal​
Alika [10]

Explanation:

Coal is a fossil fuel and is the altered remains of prehistoric vegetation. The energy we get from coal today comes from the energy that plants absorbed from the sun millions of years ago. In the burning process of coal, carbon dioxide (CO2) is emitted. Humans expel CO2, and plants utilize it every single day. Carbon is a building block for all forms of life and is used in a lot of everyday products.

Coal is a combustible black or brownish-black sedimentary rock, formed as rock strata called coal seams. Coal is mostly carbon with variable amounts of other elements, chiefly hydrogen, sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen.Coal is formed when dead plant matter decays into peat and is converted into coal by the heat and pressure of deep burial over millions of years. Vast deposits of coal originate in former wetlands—called coal forests—that covered much of the Earth's tropical land areas during the late Carboniferous (Pennsylvanian) and Permian times. However, many significant coal deposits are younger than this and originate from the Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras.

a ball was 2.0 m off the ground and thrown horizontally. it traveled for 7.8 m before it hit the ground. what was the imitial sp
Leto [7]

Answer:

12 m/s

Explanation:

First, find the time it takes for the ball to fall 2.0 m.

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

0 = 2.0 + (0) t + ½ (-9.8) t²

0 = 2 − 4.9t²

t = 0.639

Find the velocity needed to travel 7.8 m in that time.

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

7.8 = 0 + v₀ (0.639) + ½ (0) (0.639)²

7.8 = 0.639 v₀

v₀ = 12.2

Rounded to two significant figures, the initial velocity is 12 m/s.
