Frequency. Electromagnetic waves are just magnetic waves that are turning into electric waves. The faster they turn in to each other, the more energy and high up on the spectrum they are.
They are classified according to their wavelength.
They are tranverse waves.
Electromagnetic waves are classified based on their wavelength and frequency. The electromagnetic spectrum ranges from radio waves (longest wavelength, lowest frequency) to gamma rays (shortest wavelength, highest frequency), with categories in between such as microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, and X-rays. Each category has distinct properties and applications.
Optical light waves are "Electromagnetic" waves. The colour seen is dependent on the wavelength of the light. Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves where the oscillation is 90 degrees to the direction of travel (unlike sound waves which are longitudinal).
No, electromagnetic waves are classified as transverse waves. In a transverse wave, the oscillation of the wave is perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer. Longitudinal waves, on the other hand, have oscillations parallel to the direction of energy transfer.
waves are classified according to how they move. the three types of waves are transversed waves, longitudinal waves, and surface waves
Electromagnetic waves are different from other types of waves because they do not require a medium to travel through, unlike sound waves which need a medium like air or water. Electromagnetic waves are classified as transverse waves because their oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of their propagation. This means that the electric and magnetic fields in electromagnetic waves vibrate at right angles to the direction the wave is moving.
Waves can be classified as either mechanical or electromagnetic based on how they travel through a medium.
The electromagnetic spectrum includes all forms of electromagnetic radiation, ranging from high-frequency gamma rays and X-rays to visible light and radio waves. It encompasses all wavelengths and frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.
Energy transfered in the form of electromagnetic waves is classified according to wavelength of the radiation. Radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet light, X-rays and gamma rays are all forms of electromagnetic radiation.
Electromagnetic waves can be classified based on their frequency into different types such as radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. This classification is known as the electromagnetic spectrum.
Energy can be classified into different types based on its wavelength. For example, energy with short wavelength, such as gamma rays and X-rays, is considered high-energy electromagnetic radiation. In contrast, energy with longer wavelength, like radio waves and microwaves, belongs to the lower energy part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
