How are electromagnetic waves different from sound or water waves?

Physics
1 answer:
Annette [7]2 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are different from sound or water waves in such a way that water and sound waves are called mechanical waves that requires a material medium for their propagation.

Electromagnetic waves do no require a material medium for propagation.

  • Electromagnetic waves are carried or transported by radiation and this can be passed through vacuums and different other materials.
  • But mechanical waves such as water and sound waves requires a material medium for their propagation.
  • They cannot pass through a vacuum.

How would you go about separating the components of a mixture of sand, gravel, salt and iron filings
larisa86 [58]

Pour the entire components into water.

First the iron filings can be separated using a magnet as iron is a magnetic element.

By pouring the mixture into water, it allows the salt to dissolve in the water, while the sand will not.

Next we can run this solution through a filtration device to separate the sand from the water.

Now all that's left is to let the water evaporate so that the salt will be exposed that dissolved into the water.

Which process is represented by the PV diagram shown below?
MrMuchimi

Answer: B. the isovolumetric process

Explanation:

In the graph given, the volume is constant throughout. It represents a constant volume process. Such processes are called the isovolumetric process or isochoric process.

<em>Hence, option B is the correct answer.</em>

Option A is incorrect because in an isobaric process, the pressure is constant.

Option C is incorrect because in an isothermal process, the temperature is constant.

Option D is incorrect because in an adiabatic process there is no heat transfer.
