Electricity and magnetism are the same phenomenon: Electric fields generate magnetic fields and vice-versa. It is impossible to separate the one from the other. However, it is very hard to generate a coherent electric current from a magnetic field because of the way the field disperses.

electronic sound waves


What wave travels through outer space?

Self propagating electro-magnetic waves. Otherwise known as light waves.


Light energy travels in?

Light energy travels in the form of electromagnetic waves, which do not require a medium to propagate. These waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that move through space at the speed of light.


Does light travel in compression waves?

No, light travels in electromagnetic waves, not compression waves. Compression waves are associated with sound waves, where particles are compressed and expanded as the wave passes through a medium. In contrast, electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to travel and propagate through oscillating electric and magnetic fields.


How do EM waves travels?

Electromagnetic (EM) waves are self-propagating waves of electric and magnetic fields that travel through space at the speed of light. They do not require a medium to travel through, and can travel through a vacuum. EM waves are produced by the vibrations of charged particles and have both electric and magnetic components perpendicular to each other.


Energy travels through space as rhythmic waves?

Yes, energy can be transmitted through space in the form of electromagnetic waves, such as light and radiation. These waves carry energy by oscillating electric and magnetic fields as they travel through a vacuum.


What does Electromagnetic energy travel in?

Electromagnetic energy travels in electromagnetic waves, which are composed of electric and magnetic fields that oscillate perpendicular to each other as they propagate through space at the speed of light.


How does light travels from a light source?

Light travels from a light source in the form of electromagnetic waves. These waves consist of alternating electric and magnetic fields that propagate through space. The speed of light in a vacuum is about 300,000 kilometers per second.


Light travels through space as electromagnetic what?

Light travels through space as electromagnetic radiation. This radiation consists of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that move through space at the speed of light.


Why do sound light and electricity do not have matter?

For sound:Sound is waves. Matter moves as the waves go through it but the waves are not made of matter.For light:Light is an electromagnetic wave i.e. just oscillating electric & magnetic fields.For Electricity:Electricity is the movement of charge. The charge is carried by matter (or antimatter for that matter).


Do light travel as waves of vibrations?

Yes, light travels as electromagnetic waves that consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields. These waves propagate through space and can exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties.


A form of energy that travels as waves from the sun to the earth is?
