Do electromagnetic radiations require a medium to travel?
Open in App
Solution
- An electromagnetic wave is a combination of electric and magnetic oscillations.
- These oscillations do not require particles to be present in the medium to propagate.
- Light is an example of electromagnetic wave, we can see that light travels from sun to earth in outer space without any medium as it does not require a medium to travel
Hence, electromagnetic radiations do not require a medium to travel.
