What do radio waves and mechanical waves have in common?

• they both are longitudinal waves

• they both have magnetic properties

• they both require a medium to travel through

• they both carry energy from one place to another

What kind of waves that do not require some sort of medium to travel through?

• Mechanical wave

• Electromagnetic wave

• Transverse wave

• All of the above

• The wavelength increases.

• The wavelength decreases.

• More specific information is needed to form a conclusion about the wavelength.
