Question

PLEASE HELP - Your concept map will compare the manner in which energy is transferred by mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves. Include the following somewhere in your concept map: types of energy transferred medium required (if applicable) for transfer of energy speed of energy transfer through various mediums (solid, liquid, gas)
Concept Idea Bank:
mechanical waves electromagnetic waves
do not require a medium transfer sound energy
transfer light energy require a medium
travel is slowed as density of matter increases
travel is faster as density of matter increases
can pass through matter

Think about the kind of map that would be best to use to organize and compare mechanical and electromagnetic waves. Review the rubric that will be used to grade this assignment. Create your concept map. When you have completed the concept map, don’t forget to submit it for a grade.

Answer 1

Answer:

Waves:"The phenomenon in which any number of particles or the energy packets that originates from a transmitter  travels in a direction and it is somehow directed towards a receiver end is called as waves."

Electromagnetic wave: The type of waves which do not require any sort of medium for the transformation process of the energy, as it is directed towards from a transmitter towards a receiver.

For example: Radio, IR , Ultra sonic waves etc.

Mechanical waves:The type of waves which requires some medium to transfer the energy packets from one place to another, or from one point to the other using some medium. As the medium can be solids,liquids, or any gaseous forms.

For example: Sound waves, seismic waves etc.

Explanation:

The transfer of energy in Mechanical waves and Electromagnetic waves:

• Both, the waves are much different due ones basic requirement of a medium while the other don't require one. As the density of any medium if increased it will increase the speed of the wave propagation. And this any medium being more denser will result in high speed form mechanical waves.

• While, the electromagnetic waves can pass through matters or elements easily with out having any obstruction faced in its path because presence of medium is no requirement for the wave propagation.
