∙ 14y agoElectromagnetic waves carry electromagnetic energy. Most other familiar waves (like sound waves or waves on water) will carry mechanical energy. There are gravity waves that carry gravitational energy, depending on who you talk to, but the basic answer is as posted.

∙ 13y agoThe root word behind radiation is radius. In radiation, the effect travels out from the source in all directions unless otherwise constrained.
EM radiaton is the radiation of an EM wave from some source. Examples are radio, light, x-rays and so on.
Radioactive radiation is the emission of an actual particle. Alpha, Beta and Gamma radiation are examples. These usually have high energies, and some may cause damage to material in the vicinity. As in Accelerator radiation used to destroy cancers.
Sound radiates from its source.
The same term radiation is also used to describe the spreading out from a point, even if it is not along radii. The radiation of a peoples or a botanic species are examples.

What do electromagnetic waves transport from one place to another?
electromagnetic waves carry what though space and matter
What are the three different wave types?
Electromagnetic wave are one type, acoustic waves are another. The waves of the sea, or those of an earthquake are others.
How are different types of electromagnetic waves organized?
Electromagnetic waves have been classified as the mode of production differs from one to the other.
Is radiation a energy that's transmitted from one place to another by electromagnetic waves?
Yes, radiation is energy that is transmitted from one place to another by electromagnetic waves...hope i could help :)
What do all types of electromagnetic wave transfer from one place to another?
for all the apex users:In changing electric and magnetic fields

What are the components of electromagnetic waves?
Electromagnetic waves are composed of an electronic component and a magnetic component, which propagate perpendicular to one another.

How are sound waves and electromagnetic waves different from one another?
Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves I.E the direction of movement of each particle in the medium is perpendicular to the direction of the transfer of energy, similar to a water wave. Sound waves are transverse and so the direction of the movement of the particles in the medium is the same direction as the movement of the energy.
The energy produced by electromagnetic waves is called?
The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves is called electromagnetic radiation. Light, radio waves and X-rays are a few other examples of this radiation phenomenon. The Transfer process is the "flow" of particles from one location to another. The best visual example is the transfer of "heat" from one source to another.
Electromagnetic waves may exist at?
Electromagnetic waves can exist only at one speed.
What is one major difference between electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves require a medium to travel, where electromagnetic waves do not.
What are 2 examples of electromagnetic waves?
Transverse and Compressional electromagetic waves Another opinion: No electromagnetic waves are compressional waves. They're all transverse. I think what the question was looking for is: -- Heat and visible light -- Radio waves and X-rays -- Ultraviolet and gamma rays etc.
