Select the correct statement from the following

A
Electromagnetic waves cannot travel in vacuum
B
Electromagnetic waves are longitudinal waves
C
Electromagnetic waves are produced by charges moving with uniform velocity
✓
Electromagnetic waves carry both energy and momentum as they propagate through space

✓

Answer

Correct option: D.

Electromagnetic waves carry both energy and momentum as they propagate through space

d

Electromagnetic waves do not required any medium to propagate. They can travel in vacuum. They are transverse in nature like light. They carry both energy and momentum. A changing electric field produces a changing magnetic field and vice-versa . Which gives rise to a transverse wave known as electromagnetic wave
