Which of the following is not transported by electromagnetic waves?

A

energy

B

charge

C

momentum

D

information

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Electromagnetic waves bring energy from one location to another and thus momentum is carried along with it as well.
Furthermore, electromagnetic waves are not deflected by electric field or magnetic field, which indicates that they have no charge whatsoever.
Therefore, EM waves do not carry any charge. The charge is often linked with the mass. Since EM waves are simply waves, they have no mass and therefore no charge.
