Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves are different from sound or water waves in such a way that water and sound waves are called mechanical waves that requires a material medium for their propagation.
Electromagnetic waves do no require a material medium for propagation.
- Electromagnetic waves are carried or transported by radiation and this can be passed through vacuums and different other materials.
- But mechanical waves such as water and sound waves requires a material medium for their propagation.
- They cannot pass through a vacuum.
