Choose the FALSE statement: O Magnetic fields always appear the same independent of the relative frame of reference of the observer. Changing magnetic fields create electric fields and vice versa. Light is an oscillating and propagating electromagnetic field. Light may appear to move slower when moving through a transparent medium such as glass or water than it does in a vacuum.
