Explanation:

The cations and anions are locked tightly into place because of the attraction of their opposite charges - as a result, it's difficult to move the ions and the material is very hard.

How do electromagnetic waves transfer energy without a medium?.
user100 [1]

Since em waves are not conveyed by that of the vibration of electrons, they do not need a medium to travel. Electrical and magnetic fields, that could exist anywhere, oscillate, creating waves.

<h3>What do you mean by Electromagnetic waves?</h3>

The oscillations here between electrostatic potential and a magnetic field produce waves known as electromagnetic waves, or EM waves. In other words, magnetism fields oscillate to form electromagnetic (EM) waves.

<h3>Electromagnetic waves, where are they?</h3>

In contrast to wave propagation, electromagnetism waves can travel without a medium. This implies that microwaves can pass not only through stationary surfaces like air and rock but also through empty space.
