Know the Answer?

Jordin · Answer 1

option c and d.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are those waves which do not need any material medium to transfer.

Speed of the electromagnetic waves is equal to 3 x 10⁸ m/s.

All electromagnetic wave have different frequency and wavelength.

Electromagnetic waves is perpendicular to the direction of propagation.

Hence, the option which is true are option c and d.
