Electromagnetic waves travel through water; mechanical waves can only travel through solid matter


Electromagnetic waves are long chains of vibrating molecules; mechanical waves aren't


Electromagnetic waves need a medium to travel through; mechanical waves do not


Sagot :

Answer:

Electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space; mechanical waves can not  

Explanation:

The salient differences between electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves is that electromagnetic waves can travel through empty spaces but mechanical waves cannot.

Mechanical waves always requires a material medium for their propagation. No known mechanical waves can pass through an empty vacuum.

Electromagnetic waves on the other hand can pass through vacuum. They do not require a material medium for propagation.

This makes them unlimited in their form and mode of propagation.
