What are electromagnetic waves? Explain two characteristics of these waves.
Show Hint
Solution and Explanation
Two characteristics of electromagnetic waves are:
- They travel in a vacuum at the speed of light (\( c = 3 \times 10^8 \, \mathrm{m/s} \)).
- They carry energy and momentum and can exert radiation pressure.
