<u>Answer:</u>
<h2>
All the waves are pertubations that propagate (transport) energy.</h2><h2>
</h2>
Nevertheless, they have some differences:
1. Light waves are<u> electromagnetic waves</u>, while sound and water waves are <u>mechanical waves</u>, this is the first and principal difference.
2. Electromagnetic waves can<u> propagate in vacuum</u> (they do not need a medium or material), but mechanical waves obligatory need a material to propagate
3. Light waves are always <u>transversal waves</u>, this means <u>the oscillatory movement is in a direction that is perpendicular to the propagation</u>; but mechanical waves may be both: <u>longitudinal waves</u> (the oscillation occurs in the same direction as the propagation) or transversal waves.
4. Electromagnetic waves propagates at a <u>constant velocity</u> (Light velocity) while the velocity of mechanical waves will depend on the type of wave and the <u>density</u> of the medium or material.
5. <u>Mechanical waves</u> are characterized by the regular variation of a single magnitude, while <u>electromagnetic waves</u> are characterized by the variation of two magnitudes: the electric field and the magnetic field
6. <u>Water waves</u> are 2-dimensional waves, while the <u>light and the sound</u> are tridimensional spherical waves
7. Light waves <u>transports energy in the form of </u><u>radiation</u>, while mechanical waves t<u>ransport energy with </u><u>material</u>
Elements with 7 valence electrons are extremely reactive, while elements with 8 valence electrons practically don't react at all.
This is caused by the fact that all molecules want to have 8 valence electrons; that's just the scientific fact. So, if an element already has 8 valence electrons, it doesn't need to react with anything. If the element only has 7 valence electrons, however, it really wants to react with something with 1 valence electron to get to that special number 8.
Answer:
B: Process #1: Energy is decreasing Process#2: Energy is increasing
Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum. Because they do not give up energy
in traveling, Electromagnetic waves can cross the great distances that separate stars
and galaxies. Rays from the Sun travel nearly 150 million
kilometers to reach Earth's surface.
