Question

distinguish between longitudinal and transverse waves
and
write any five properties of electromagnetic waves

Answer 1

In Longitudinal waves movement of particle is parallel in the direction of propagation.

In transverse wave particle move perpendicular to the direction of propagatprion.


Properties of Electromagnetic waves:-
1) They are not deflected by any of magnetic and electric field.
2)They are transverse waves.i.e. moves perpendicular in the direction of   propagation.
3)They can be polarized.
4)They can show interferance or diffraction.
5) main point: they do not need any medium of propagation.

hope this helps you.
