How do mechanical and electromagnetic waves differ?

Physics

Gala2k [10]3 years ago

Electromagnetic waves differ from mechanical waves in that they do not require a medium to propagate. This means that electromagnetic waves can travel not only through air and solid materials, but also through the vacuum of space.

Answer:

Electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum whereas mechanical waves do not... The ripples made in a pool of water after a stone is thrown in the middle are an example of mechanical wave...

A. Because metal is a good conductor of heat.

If a frying pan wasn't a good conductor of heat it's purpose of cooking things wouldn't really be resolved. Without heat it couldn't cook well. I think lol that's my way of thinking.

With an increase in temperature, the viscosity of liquids will: . (a) decrease (b) increase . (c) no change
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

(a) decrease

Explanation:

Viscosity is the resistance which occur to flow of the fluid.

More the inter molecular forces between particles of the liquid, more the viscosity of liquid.

<u>Effect of temperature on viscosity:-</u>

Viscosity decreases with the increase in the temperature as forces among the particles decrease on increasing temperature. The kinetic energy of the particles of the liquid increases causing to move in more random motions and thus weaker inter molecular forces and this offer less resistance to the flow.

<u>Hence, viscosity of the liquids decrease with the increasing temperature.</u>
