The entire range of em waves is called the?
The total of all electromagnetic waves is called the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light waves, ultraviolet radiation, x-rays, and gamma rays. Only visible light waves, which humans see as the band of colors from red to violet, are the portion of the spectrum visible to the human eye, although many other life forms are sensitive to infrared and possibly to other segments the spectrum.
Does a electromagnetic spectrum consists of sound waves and light waves?
No. Only light. bcoz light is a transverse wave where as sound is a longitudinal wave.electromagnetic consist of all transverse waves
Which em wave is only a small band within the broad electromagnetic spectrum?
A:visible light waves
What waves have the shortest wavelength and the highest frequency?
Gamma rays
Transverse waves that vibrate in one direction only are called....?
Polarized waves.
What waves are only in the spectrum and are in the middle?
infrared rays are in the middle, and if it is for color it is green or yellow
What waves are only in the spectrum and in the middle?
infrared rays are in the middle, and if it is for color it is green or yellow

Most of the waves in the electromagnetic spectrum are?
Invisible. The only light is in the visible light section. lol. :)

Are sound and light the only types of waves?
No, there are many other types of waves including the waves that carry radio and television signals, often called VHF and UHF waves (Very High Frequency and Ultra High Frequency). Microwaves come next and they are used for cooking and also as carrier waves for cell phones and other telecommunication. Next is the infrared spectrum which are heat-emitting waves (they can be felt as heat on the body), then the visible spectrum which we refer to as light (or color). Above this, the ultraviolet spectrum occurs, then x-rays, then gamma rays, all of which can be damaging to the human body due to their short wavelengths and, therefore high frequencies which give them extremely high energy and penetrating power. And then, of course there are waves on the ocean, waves in your hair, and waves at football and hockey games!

Polarized waves.
Are the sun waves mechanical waves or electromagnetic waves?
Electromagnetic waves
What are the waves that the partices of the medium move only in the same direction as the motion of the wave?
Such waves are called Longitudinal Waves.
Why can you see visible light waves but not other electromagnetic waves?
Visible light consists of the band of wavelengths to which the structure of the human eye is sensitive. Radiation outside of that band may enter the eye, but there's nothing in there that responds to it, so the brain remains unaware of it.
