Distinguishing Types of Waves through Examples
A 2-column table with 3 rows. The first column labeled mechanical waves has entries ocean water, light waves, earthquake waves. The second column labeled electromagnetic waves has entries sound waves, radiation waves, X-ray waves.

How should the table be changed to correctly distinguish between mechanical and electromagnetic waves?

Earthquake waves and radiation waves need to change places.
Light waves and X-ray waves need to change places.
Ocean waves and X-ray waves need to change places.
Sound waves and light waves need to change places.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Sound waves and light waves need to change places.

Explanation:

Given table:

           Mechanical waves                        Electromagnetic waves

          Ocean water                                      Sound waves

          Light waves                                        Radiation waves

          Earthquake waves                             X-ray waves

From the given table, to be correct, light and sound waves must change their position.

Light wave is an electromagnetic wave

Sound wave is a mechanical wave

 An electromagnetic wave does not require a material medium for propagation.

  Mechanical waves require material medium for their propagation.

        Mechanical waves                        Electromagnetic waves

          Ocean water                                     Light waves waves

          Sound waves                                         Radiation waves

          Earthquake waves                                 X-ray waves
