Answer: The correct answer is "electromagnetic wave".

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves: These waves are produced by vibration of the charged particles. But the mechanical waves are caused by wave amplitude.

Electromagnetic wave does not need a medium while the mechanical wave needs a medium to travel.

The electromagnetic wave travels with the speed of the light. The example of electromagnetic wave is light.

Mechanical waves are of two types: Longitudinal wave and Transverse.

Sound wave is a longitudinal wave. It consists of compression and rarefaction.

Therefore, Light travels as an electromagnetic wave.

Answer:

Force exerted = 25.41 kN

Explanation:

We have equation of motion

v² = u²+2as

u = 345 m/s, s = 8.9 cm = 0.089 m, v = 0 m/s

0² = 345²+2 x a x 0.089

a = -668679.78 m/s²

Force exerted = Mass x Acceleration

Mass of bullet = 38 g = 0.038 kg

Acceleration = 668679.78 m/s²

Force exerted = 25409.83 N = 25.41 kN
