Best Answer

sound wave cannot produce magnetic field because magnetic field is created due to flow of electric currents sound is a mechanical wave, sound is produced due to vibration in a medium so sound wave cannot create electric current or magnetic field

Why is a vibrating electric field an example of an electromagnetic wave?

The changing electric field will produce a magnetic field; the changing magnetic field will cause an electric field; both will propagate as a wave - an electro-magnetic wave.


How is an electromagnet wave generated?

We produce electric field and magnetic field. If we change the electric field with time (so magnetic field alse change), required frequency, then we produce electromagnetic wave.


Why an electromagnetic wave is able to produce both an electric field and a magnetic field because?

The question founders on the rocks of a chicken/egg conundrum. The presence of both an electric field and a magnetic field is required in order to produce an electromagnetic wave.


Can electromagnetic wave deflect by electric or magnetic field?

No. An electromagnetic wave IS electric and magnetic fields.

What does electromagnetic waves means?

An electromagnetic wave, in its simplest description, is a wave that as it propagates keeps converting its magnetic field into an electric field while converting its electric field into a magnetic field.


Is sunshine a mechanical wave?

No, it is an electromagnetic wave containing electric field component and a magnetic field component.


Is the sound from an electric guitar a sound or electromagnetic wave?

sound waves are all around us. the electric guitar will make/reflect sound waves just as it sits in the corner. sound waves is what sound is only that sound waves is the more scientific way of saying it.


Is it necessary whenever there is an electric field there will be a magnetic field in perpendicular direction thus producing em waves if not what is the condition of em wave generation?

A moving charge (such as an electrical current) generates a magnetic field at right angles, true, but this field is stable and unchanging. An EM wave is only produced by a changing movement, for example an AC current. The condition would be that the field will change (and produce a wave) only if the current changes.

What changes a sound wave into an electric current?

Sound waves are longitudinal waves. These would vibrate a diaphragm which has been attached with a coil kept in a magnetic field. As the coil vibrates then current is induced. This is how sound wave gets changed into electric current.
