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 />
