Which of the following statements are true? check all that apply. check all that apply. electromagnetic waves transport linear momentum. electromagnetic waves transport mass from one region of space to another. electromagnetic waves can exert pressure on an object. electromagnetic waves transport energy from one region of space to another.

1,3,and 4 are correct statements

Explanation:

1. Indeed, linear momentum and energy are transmitted by electromagnetic waves. It assumes that pressure is exerted on the surface as this momentum is taken by some material. In this article, we can conclude that the electromagnetic wave hits the surface at normal incidence and transfers maximum U energy for time t to the surface. Maxwell found that if the surface consumes all of the incident energy U during this time, the maximum momentum p transferred to the ground will have a magnitude

p= U/c

c= velocity of EM waves

2.No, electromagnetic wave does not transfer mass of an object from one region to another region.

3. Yes, Light being an electromagnetic wave consists of photons. Photons have a traveling mass and thus a momentum.The rate of change of momentum after collision gives us force Now, force divided by area gives us pressure. Photons(light) is therefore exerting pressure on objects. The level of pressure depends on the light intensity and if the light is completely mirrored, refracted or reflected or partly reflected, this intensity is varied accordingly.

4.Yes, Electromagnetic waves transport energy from one region of space to another, can exert pressure on an object, and transport linear momentum.

a and b sometimes have a positive value
