There is not a difference between electromagnetic and ocean waves because they are both mechanical waves.

Answer 1

The correct response that highlights the difference between electromagnetic waves and ocean waves is:

Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium (They can move through space) and ocean waves require a medium.

Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum, while ocean waves need a medium (water) to propagate. The other responses contain inaccuracies or misinterpretations regarding wave behavior.
