Answer:
D. They don't require a medium to travel through.
Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves are both types of waves. Electromagnetic waves are waves that arise from the combination of electric and magnetic fields while mechanical waves are waves that arise as a result of transfer of energy via matter.
One major difference between these two types of waves is that electromagnetic waves such as light waves, radiowaves etc. do not need a medium to travel i.e. they can travel through a vacuum, while on the other hand, mechanical waves such as sound waves need a medium to travel.
T<span>he phenomenon of </span>static electricity<span> requires a separation of </span>positive<span> and </span>negative<span> charges. When two materials are in contact, electrons may move from one material to the other, which leaves an excess of </span>positive<span>charge on one material, and an equal </span>negative<span> charge on the other.</span>
The correct answer is C. Since that really was a tricky question I made sure it was correct by checking on Google. Hope I helped! - Amber
