Generally, no. Newtons are a unit of FORCE, and EM waves convey very little force. EM waves are generally measured by Hertz (ie, their frequency), by micro-meters or angstroms (ie, their wavelength), or by electron-volts (ie, the energy of their photons).

How do you know the speed of an electromagnetic wave in vacuum?

The speed of electromagnetic waves in a vacuum is the same as the speed of light (which is, in itself an electromagnetic wave). It can be measured by finding the frequency and wavelength of two different waves, and then by that correlation, the speed of the waveform.


What is the correct term for the number of electromagnetic waves that a source produces every second?

The correct term for the number of electromagnetic waves that a source produces every second is frequency, measured in hertz (Hz).


Why is the velocity of electromagnetic waves not measured?

The question is not quite clear. The speed of electromagnetic waves has been measured, in a great number of experiments of increasing precision and accuracy over the past 150 years, and is now known correctly to within 5 parts per billion.
