What is non mechanical wave?
Non mechanical waves are Eletro magnetic waves. We can devide 2 waves. 1 is mechanical waves & 2 is electromagnetic waves. For example Sound is a mechanical wave & Light is an electromagnetic wave.
What is the full range of electromagnetic radiation called?
There are seven types of electromagnetic waves and they are: 1. Radio waves 2. Microwaves 3. Infra-red waves 4. (visible) Light waves 5. Ultra-violet waves 6. X-ray waves 7. Gamma rays
Will electromagnetic waves pass though walls that light can't?
First of all ... light is electromagnetic waves. But we think we understand what you're asking ...Can longer or shorter electromagnetic waves get in where light can't ?Here's a 'thought experiment' that can answer that question:1). Can you listen to your radio down in a dark part of your basement where there's no sunlight?2). Can the x-ray machine at the airport check items inside your suitcase or briefcase ?(Here's a small hint: The answer to both questions is 'Yes'.)
Why does there have to be a medium for waves to travel through?
There does not have to be a medium. Light does not require a medium. Mechanical waves require a mediumAnswer 2:Not all waves require a medium for their transmission. Mechanical waves require a medium for their transmission because it is the molecules of the medium which cause the wave to propagate. However, electromagnetic waves do NOT require a medium. (for example light)
Name a kind of wave that does not require a medium?
(1) Electromagnetic waves, (2) gravitational waves.

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.
What are 2 electromagnetic waves?
gamma, x-rays, microwaves, visible light, infrared, radio waves
How do you know that light is an example of electromagnet waves?
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 type of electromagnetic waves are visible?
types include (in order of increasing frequency and decreasing wavelength): radio waves, microwaves, terahertz radiation, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and gamma rays
What are two waves that humans are exposed to every day?
1. Light waves / Electromagnetic waves (includes gamma radiation)2. Sound waves - while sound waves are not objects, and they require a medium to travel through, we are still exposed to sound daily.

What do you know about the speed of the 2 waves in the vacuum?
All electromagnetic waves, light, x-rays, etc travel at the same speed. Sound waves require a medium to travel thru, so they cannot travel thru a vacuum.
