We understand that electromagnetic waves have both an electric and a magnetic component. Each component is a wave, and each wave is perpendicular to the other and is in phase.
perpendicular to the direction of the wave
What else can I help you with?
What do electromagnetic travel through?
changing electric and magnetic fields {[((apex))]}
What electromagnetic waves travel Through?
changing electric and magnetic fields {[((apex))]}
What is Created by vibrations in electric and magnetic fields?
Electromagnetic waves are created by vibrations in electric and magnetic fields. These waves propagate through space and include forms of radiation such as light, radio waves, and microwaves. They travel at the speed of light and have both electric and magnetic components perpendicular to each other.
What has alternating electric and magnetic fields that travel in the form of a wave?
Electromagnetic waves have alternating electric and magnetic fields that travel in the form of a wave. These waves do not require a medium to travel through and can propagate through vacuum. Examples of electromagnetic waves include light, radio waves, microwaves, and X-rays.
Do light waves oscillate?
Yes, light waves oscillate as they travel through space. These oscillations are in the form of electric and magnetic fields that are perpendicular to each other and to the direction of wave propagation.
Which rays are not deflected by electric or magnetic fields?
Neutrinos are not deflected by electric or magnetic fields because they have no electric charge and very weak interactions with matter. These properties allow neutrinos to travel through space without being affected by electromagnetic forces.
What is the relationship between electric and magnetic waves in electromagnetic waves?
Electric and magnetic fields are perpendicular to each other in electromagnetic waves. A change in the electric field generates a magnetic field, and a change in the magnetic field generates an electric field. They support each other and travel together in a wave-like fashion.
What transfers energy is in the form of vibrating electric and magnetic fields?
Electromagnetic waves transfer energy in the form of vibrating electric and magnetic fields. These waves can travel through a vacuum and include various forms of radiation such as light, radio waves, and X-rays.
Could an electromagnetic wave travel through space if its electric and magnetic fileds were not changing with time?
No, for an electromagnetic wave to travel through space, its electric and magnetic fields must vary with time. A static electric and magnetic field does not propagate as a wave and would not carry energy through space.
In the absence of magnetic fields cathode rays do what?
In the absence of magnetic fields, cathode rays will continue to travel in a straight line. Magnetic fields can be used to deflect or focus cathode rays, but without these fields, the electrons will not be influenced and will travel unaffected.
What is an eletro magnetic?
Electro magnets are only magnetic when an electric current is flowing, unlike a standard magnet which is always magnetic. When the electric current is switched off, the magnetism decays away (collapses). They normally take the form of a fixed core made of soft iron surrounded by a coil of copper wire which acts as the conductor for the electric current. There is a special form of electro magnet which has a movable core instead of it being fixed and this type of electro magnet is called a solenoid. You can see large electro magnets at work at a scrap metal yard, where they are employed on a crane jib to lift and transport scrap iron and steel.
The core of an electromagnet is a piece of steel put in the center of the coil?
no
