internet uses all sorts of different networks; in some cases, light travels through fiber optics. In other cases, electrical signals travel through conducting wires. In yet other parts of the Internet, signals are transmitted through the air with radio waves.

What type of energy has to do with light and radiation sent in waves?

Electromagnetic energy is the type of energy that has to do with light and radiation sent in waves. This energy includes visible light, radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays.


What type of communication is carried by sound and light waves?

The type of communication that is carried by sound and light waves are messages. They can be sent via a video message.


Can waves be sent down an optical fiber in the form of light?

Yes, waves can be sent down an optical fiber in the form of light. Optical fibers are specially designed to guide and transmit light waves over long distances with minimal loss. The light waves travel through the core of the optical fiber and are reflected off the walls due to total internal reflection, allowing for efficient transmission.


The intensity of light waves is a measure of what?

The intensity of light waves is a measure of the energy carried by the waves. It is proportional to the square of the amplitude of the waves. The intensity of light waves determines how bright the light appears to us.


What thing allows us to see the waves?

Our eyes, specifically the photoreceptor cells in our retinas, allow us to see light waves. These cells convert incoming light into electrical signals that are sent to the brain, where they are processed into the visual images we perceive.


What types of waves carry sound?

sound sent through liquids or gases is called compression waves sound sent through solids is called longitudinal and transverse waves


How are ultraviolet waves different from light waves?

Ultraviolet waves are smaller than light waves.


Are sound waves stronger than light waves?

No because light waves are stronger and brighter and sound waves are light and dull


Do all light waves emit radiation?

Light waves do not emit radiation, light waves are radiation.


Light waves are classified as what waves?

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).


Why the radio waves are similar to light waves but not sound wavesexplain?

Radio and light waves are electromagnetic waves, sound waves are not.


What are strong light waves?

Strong light waves refer to light waves that have a high intensity or brightness. These waves have a higher amplitude and carry more energy compared to weaker light waves. Strong light waves can be produced by sources such as the sun, lasers, or powerful light bulbs.
