ANSWER:
Solution 22 Q
Step 1 of 2
We have to determine whether the energy is carried by the particles or by waves, if we knew that the energy was being transmitted from one place to another.
If the energy is being transferred by particles then the vibration of the particles carries the energy from one point to the other, whereas waves, such as electromagnetic waves can transmit energy from one place to the other without the aid of the particles in the medium and they can also transmit energy in the vacuum.
