To Choose: The correct option.
Answer to Problem 4STP
The correct option is (C).
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Electromagnetic waves have both magnetic and electric field component.
Energy possessed by the virtue of its motion is kinetic energy. Energy possessed by the virtue of state is potential energy and energy possessed by nucleons at the subatomic level is the nuclear energy.
Therefore, options (A), (B) and (D) are incorrect.
Radiant energy is carried by the electromagnetic waves. Therefore, the correct option is (C).
Conclusion:
Hence, radiant energy refers to the energy carried by an electromagnetic wave.
