How do electromagnetic waves differ from other types of waves in terms of their need for a medium?

Multiple Choice

Why is it significant that electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space?

• Because it allows sunlight to reach Earth from the Sun

• Because it makes electromagnetic waves slower than sound waves

• Because it means electromagnetic waves need water to travel
