Electromagnetic waves will travel the SAME SPEED (speed of light) WITHIN a medium as it does WITHOUT a medium. Question options: True False

True

Explanation:

The speed that electromagnetic waves will travel within any medium is the same as those without a medium. The speed of electromagnetic wave is a constant and does not depend on the material of the medium.

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.
