The answer is D.

Mechanical waves need a medium to travel, for example, sound is a mechanical wave. You are able to hear other people because the sound wave is travelling trough a fluid -air-. If you were to be in space -vacuum- you would not be able to hear anything. 

The most well known example of an electromagnetic wave is light. As you may have noticed, we're able to get the light from the Sun to Earth; clearly light -electromagnetic wave- is able to travel in vacuum/space (i.e., without a medium).

an object is placed 20cm from a converging lens. If the real image is formed 80cm from the object, what is the focal length of t
masya89 [10]

Explanation:

Here,

object distance(u)=20cm

image distance(v)=80cm-20cm=60cm

focal length(f)=?

we know ,

(1/f)=(1/v)+(1/u)

1/f = 1/60 + 1/20

1/f = (1+3)/60

60 =4f

f=15cm
