    Do electromagnetic waves carry energy and momentum like other waves?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    Electromagnetic waves do carry energy and momentum like other waves. This is supported by the fact that electromagnetic waves can exert pressure on objects, such as in the case of solar sails, where the momentum of photons is transferred to the sail, causing it to move. Additionally, the energy carried by electromagnetic waves can be harnessed and used in various applications, such as in the form of light for illumination or radio waves for communication. Therefore, it can be concluded that electromagnetic waves possess both energy and momentum.

    The difference is often called the ________ of the circuit

    • Voltage

    • Brandwidth

    • Frequency deviation

    Correct Answer
    A. Frequency deviation
    Explanation
    In electrical circuits utilizing frequency modulation (FM), the term "frequency deviation" pertains to the variation in frequency from a fixed central frequency or carrier signal. It represents the extent to which the carrier frequency is altered due to modulation by an input signal. For instance, in FM radio broadcasting, the audio signal modulates the carrier frequency, and the magnitude of frequency deviation corresponds to the amplitude of the audio signal, thereby affecting the quality of the transmitted sound. In essence, frequency deviation quantifies how far the carrier frequency strays from its central value, a crucial parameter in FM systems that helps convey information encoded within the signal, such as audio or data.
