Why do electromagnetic waves not require a medium for travel?

Physics
1 answer:
FinnZ [79.3K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Because they propagate due to presence of magnetic and electric field.

Explanation:

An Electromagnetic wave is a transversal wave conformed of an electric field perpendicular to a magnetic field.              

Maxwell established that an electric field can generate a magnetic field and vice versa, which allows the propagation of the electromagnetic wave without a medium.

The noble gas neon is used for filling neon signs. Like other noble elements, it has a full octet (complete outer energy level)
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

C. unlikely to combine with other elements.

Explanation:

In Chemistry, electrons can be defined as subatomic particles that are negatively charged and as such has a magnitude of -1.

Valence electrons can be defined as the number of electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom. Valence electrons are used to determine whether an atom or group of elements found in a periodic table can bond with others. Thus, this property is typically used to determine the chemical properties of elements.

Noble gases are chemical elements with eight valence electrons and as such have a full octet. Some examples are argon, neon, etc.

Hence, the full octet makes the gas (neon) unlikely to combine with other elements.
