Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Given Einstein's theory of relativity, we have that;

E= mc^2

m= mass of the substance

c= speed of light

For one gram of the substance,

E= 1 ×10^-3 × (3 × 10^8)^2

E = 9 × 10^13 J

For 8.7 g of matter;

E = 8.7 × 10^-3× (3 × 10^8)

E= 7.83 ×10^ 14 J

Electromagnetic waves are transverse ie, the electric and magnetic fields, which are perpendicular to each other, oscillate perpendicularly to the direction of wave propagation.
