Electromagnetic waves are different from sound and water waves because they can travel<br />
in (8) (eacsp) as well as (9) (tramet).<br />
Electromagnetic waves are made of vibrating (10) (tricleec) and<br />
(11) (ginetamc) fields. Both of these fields surround an electric<br />
(12) (grache) that is (13) (ngivmo). The vibrating<br />
electric field around a vibrating charge produces a vibrating magnetic field and the vibrating<br />
magnetic field produces a vibrating electric field. As a result, these fields continually<br />
(14) (eeactr) each other. These fields are always<br />
(15) (reepraplicdun) to each other and travel<br />
(16) (wotdaur) from the vibrating charge. Because they vibrate at right<br />
angles to the (17) (notidreci) that the wave travels, electromagnetic<br />
waves are (18) (seervrtnsa) waves. An electromagnetic wave carries<br />
(19) (trainda) energy. All objects emit electromagnetic waves because<br />
they contain electric charges that are always in (20) (ntmioo).<br />
Electromagnetic waves sometimes behave as (21) (sleipcrat) called<br />
(22) (toonsph).<br />
