Physics · Displacement current, electromagnetic waves and their characteristics, transverse nature of electromagnetic waves

The electromagnetic waves do not transport

The electromagnetic waves do not transport

  • A. energy
  • B. charge
  • C. momentum
  • D. information

Step-by-step solution

Electromagnetic waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields and transport energy and momentum. They can also carry information, e.g., in communication. However, they do not transport charge because they are not composed of charged particles. Hence, charge is not transported.
