What is the wave speed in a vacuum?
What is the wave speed in a vacuum?

Answer 1

The question "What is the wave speed in a vacuum?" would NOT aid her in learning about the properties of both mechanical and electromagnetic waves. This is because the wave speed in a vacuum specifically pertains to electromagnetic waves, as mechanical waves require a medium to travel through and therefore cannot propagate in a vacuum.

Answer 2

a b c or d

Answer 3
