Question: 1 / 400

Which form of wave is generated by the release of energy from a source?

Sound

Thermal

Pressure

Electromagnetic

Electromagnetic waves are created by the release of energy from a source. This type of wave is created when an electric charge is accelerated. Other options, such as sound waves, can be produced by the movement of an object or by a change in temperature, but they are not directly created by the release of energy from a source. Pressure waves, on the other hand, refer to the movement of matter in response to changes in pressure and are not directly related to the release of energy from a source. Thermal energy, while it can be converted into other forms of energy, is not a type of wave. Therefore, option D, electromagnetic waves, is the only accurate answer.
