Physicists Maxwell and Weber noticed that the calculated speed of electromagnetic waves from electric parameters c^2=1/eu was the same as the speed of light. Weber considered it a coincidence. Maxwell considered that it was a discovery, that light was an electromagnetic wave. Heinrich Hertz created electromagnetic waves proving that these EM waves had all the properties of light but a different frequency than optical light. Maxwell prediction that Light was an electromagnetic wave is a a highlight of Physics.
What else can I help you with?
What waves do the sun release?
As far as I know light and heat waves.
Can light waves be converted into electrical energy?
If u read a science book you will know that light waves can be converted into electrical energy.
What do mirrors do to light wave?
As you know that there are three types of light waves i.e infrared light, visible light and ultra violet light. Out of these, only visible light rays (waves) gets reflected by the mirror but the other two light waves passes through the mirror.
When energy reflects off matter how is the energy affected?
Energy comes in different forms; it would help to know what type of energy you are talking about. Energy that can move around includes mechanical waves (for example, waves in water), sound waves, light and other electromagnetic radiation.
How does light waves travel?
i dont know so tell me i dont know so tell me
Is light part of the electromagnetic spectrum?
Yes, light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum includes a range of electromagnetic waves with varying frequencies and wavelengths, of which visible light is just a small portion.
What can interpret light waves into a form of information i really need to know?
Your eyes..?
Two differences apart from speed between light waves and sound waves?
the seriosly obviose one- one is for light the othe is for sound, if you dont know which is which then you need some help.....
How do you know that electomagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum?
Electromagnetic waves travel as streams of particles, thus being able to move through a vacuum. For example, light reaches the earth from the sun and other far away stars. You can compare this with sound waves which requires a medium such as air or water to travel through.
4 animals that can see wave not visible?
Birds & bees (ultraviolet light waves), snakes (heat waves) and I don't know a 4th.
Light waves are the wavelengths that register on your visual receptors Radio waves have a much slower wavelength and not as much energy?
Radio Waves are lower frequency/longer wavelength. Don't know about energy level...
How many yellow light waves will fit into a distance of .003 inches?
To calculate the number of yellow light waves that will fit into a distance of 0.003 inches, you need to know the wavelength of yellow light. Yellow light typically has a wavelength of around 570-590 nanometers. With this information, you can use the formula: number of waves = distance/wavelength to find the answer.
