6) Why do electromagnetic waves not require a medium for travel?

sergij07 [2.7K]

Electromagnetic waves are a type of
transverse wave. This wave does not
require media for travel. As the name
implies a wave, these waves indicate
electrical and magnetic properties. No
cost whatsoever happened to the wave. Electromagnetic waves work with the
laws of reflection and refraction. They
travel the straight line in a vacuum at a
speed of 3 x 108 ms-1. The intensity of
electromagnetic waves depends on the
strength of the electric field.

Answer:

The rate of transfer of heat is 0.119 W

Solution:

As per the question:

Diameter of the fin, D = 0.5 cm = 0.005 m

Length of the fin, l =30 cm = 0.3 m
