The type of waves that require medium to pass:

• Mechanical Waves
• Electromagnetic Waves

A wave in which the particles of the medium move perpendicularly to the direction the wave is traveling

• A. surface wave
• B. transverse wave
• C. electromagnetic  wave
• D. longitudinal wave

A wave in which the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave motion

• A. mechanical wave
• B. surface wave
• C. longitudinal wave
• D. wave

Which is true about a surface wave?

• It only has properties of transverse waves.
• It only has properties of longitudinal waves.
• has neither properties of transverse or longitudinal waves.
• It has properties of both transverse and longitudinal waves.

How are Electromagnetic waves different from Mechanical waves?

• EM waves have very short wavelengths

• EM waves transmit energy instead of matter

• EM waves can travel through the vacuum of space (without particles)

• EM waves can change direction by reflection
