The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given statements and arrive at a conclusion, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Statement 1**: - The first statement claims that the velocity of light depends on the electric and magnetic properties of the medium. - This is true because the speed of light (c) in a medium can be expressed as: \[ c = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu \epsilon}} \] where \(\mu\) is the permeability and \(\epsilon\) is the permittivity of the medium. 2. **Understanding Statement 2**: - The second statement asserts that electromagnetic waves do not require a material medium for their propagation. - This is also true, as electromagnetic waves can propagate through a vacuum, which does not contain any material medium. 3. **Analyzing the Relationship Between the Statements**: - While both statements are true, we need to determine if Statement 2 explains Statement 1. - Statement 1 discusses how the velocity of light is influenced by the properties of the medium, while Statement 2 states that electromagnetic waves can propagate without a medium. - Therefore, Statement 2 does not provide an explanation for Statement 1; they are independent truths. 4. **Conclusion**: - Both statements are true, but Statement 2 does not explain Statement 1. Hence, the correct conclusion is that both statements are true, but Statement 2 is not explaining Statement 1. ### Final Answer: Both statements are true, but Statement 2 is not explaining Statement 1. ---
