Electro-magnetic waves.


What Waves in a light wave?

Light wave being visible is not a mechanical wave. It means that it does not need a material medium to be propagated. Even through vacuum it can traverse. Whereas sound waves are mechanical waves. So without a material medium no propagation is possible. So sound cannot pass through vacuum. Being a non mechanical wave light wave is an electro magnetic wave. It is transverse in nature.


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.


What type of energy travels through space?

Could be either a * gravitational wave * electro-static wave * magnetic wave * or a combination of a electro-static and a magnetic wave (usually called light) In matter is could be a * compressional wave * siderial wave

How does an electro-magnetic wave get its name?

Electricity and magnetism are closely related. When you pass a current through a conductor, a magnetic field is produced. In continuously changing current, a disturbance is caused in the form of a wave, in both the magnetic field and electrostatic field. Hence electro-magnetic. Examples of this wave extends across a whole spectrum, including radio waves, x-rays and light.


How does frequency relate to light?

Light, being a vibrating electro-magnetic wave, has a frequency of vibration.


What is non mechanical wave?

Non mechanical waves are Eletro magnetic waves. We can devide 2 waves. 1 is mechanical waves & 2 is electromagnetic waves. For example Sound is a mechanical wave & Light is an electromagnetic wave.
