A one percentage point rise from current rates means an extra $61 in monthly payments on a $100,000, 30-year loan. Still, consider locking in your rate once you have set your closing date. For credit cards and home-equity loans, 2014 could be the last hurrah for low rates, says McBride.
1 In a vacuum, all electromagnetic waves travel at approximately 3 x 10 8 m/s-the fastest speed possible. 2  When electromagnetic waves travel through matter (for example, light through air or glass), they travel a bit slower than this but rarely less than half as fast as in a vacuum.
Answer Wiki. The question is why electromagnetic waves can travel in space. We all know that EM waves doesn't require any medium to propagate itself. The answer is there in the word itself - Electromagnetic. An electric field generates a magnetic field at 90 degree phase angle, and the resultant magnetic wave generates the electric wave at 90 degree phase angle.
