Vedclass · Answer

(C) Light waves are electromagnetic waves and are transverse in nature,meaning their components vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. They do not require a medium to travel.Sound waves are mechanical waves and are longitudinal in nature,meaning the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of wave propagation. They require a material medium to travel and cannot propagate in a vacuum.
