How does electromagnetic radiation behave?

Electromagnetic radiation can behave either as a wave or a particle. A wave particle is duality. Electromagnetic energy results from acceleration of a charge EM radiation can travel through a medium or vacuum.


What type of wave is radiation?

EM radiation is short for electromagnetic radiation. It is a wave in the electric and magnetic fields.EM radiation is short for electromagnetic radiation. It is a wave in the electric and magnetic fields.EM radiation is short for electromagnetic radiation.

What does the term photon refer to?

A photon is a fundamental particle of light that carries electromagnetic energy and behaves as both a particle and a wave. It has no mass and travels at the speed of light. Photons are the basic unit of all electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, radio waves, and X-rays.

How can light be defined in simplest form?

The common definition of 'light' (visible) is electromagnetic radiation visible to the human eye. It is only a small part of what is known as the 'electromagnetic spectrum' - which is the range of wavelengths of all possible electromagnetic radiation. Light is electromagnetic radiation, as reported. But, even though it behaves like a wave, it also behaves as a particle. We can call a particle of light a photon. Light has two identities, a "duality" of sorts, that is called wave-particle duality. That's about as simple as it can get. Light is called a "wavicle" by some, and for reason that it displays qualities of both a wave and a particle.


How is EMR classified as both a wave and a particle?

EMR (electromagnetic radiation) is classified as both a wave and a particle because of its dual nature as described by quantum mechanics. In some experiments, EMR behaves like a wave with characteristics such as interference and diffraction, while in others, it behaves like a particle called a photon with characteristics like discrete energy levels. This behavior is known as wave-particle duality.


What is light and is it made of matter?

Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that is made up of particles called photons. While photons do not have mass, they do have energy and momentum, which means that light behaves both as a wave and as particles.
