What else can I help you with?
What kinds of waves make up the electromagnetic spectrum?
Those are called electromagnetic waves.
Are the sun's rays mechanical waves or electromagnetic waves?
Electromagnetic waves
What are the two kinds of fields that make up an Electromagnetic?
Scalar field and vector field.
Are electromagnetic waves transverse or compressional waves?
Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves. This means that the oscillations of the electric and magnetic fields that make up the wave occur perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Unlike compressional waves, electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to travel through.
Do electric and magnetic fields make up electromagnetic waves?
Yes, both electric and magnetic fields make up electromagnetic waves. We know that electromagnetic waves (like light) have both an electric and a magnetic component. Both of these components are waves, and they move (propagate) at right angles to each other, and in phase.
What is the angle between the electric fields and the magnetic fields that make up the electromagnetic wave?
In an electromagnetic wave, the electric and magnetic fields are perpendicular to each other, making a 90-degree angle. This relationship is described by Maxwell's equations and is a fundamental property of electromagnetic waves.
What are the two kinds of fields that make up a light wave?
Electric field and magnetic field are the two kinds of fields that make up a light wave. These fields oscillate perpendicular to each other and propagate through space as an electromagnetic wave.
Does the direction of the electromagnetic wave propagation same as the direction of vibration of electromagnetic waves?
No, the direction of electromagnetic wave propagation is perpendicular to the direction of vibration of the electric and magnetic fields that make up the wave. This relationship is governed by electromagnetic wave theory and is a fundamental characteristic of how electromagnetic waves travel through space.
What can make electromagnetic waves?
Electromagnetic waves are created by the acceleration of electric charges.
What are waves in physics?
Waves are vibrations that pass through a substance. The vibrations make the particles in the substance vibrate, which, in turn, make surrounding particles vibrate. There are different kinds of waves in physics. Mechanical Waves, Electromagnetic Waves. Mechanical waves being those on strings, for example. Electromagnetic waves being those in electric/magnetic fields, for example. (radio waves, light, ultraviolet radiation) Transverse waves - those waves that are perpendicular to the direction of vibration of the particles. Longitudinal waves - those waves that are parallel to the direction of vibration of the particles.
What are the two kinds of fields that make up an electromagnetic wave?
Electromagnetic waves are composed of electric and magnetic fields that oscillate perpendicular to each other and propagate through space at the speed of light. The changing electric field produces a changing magnetic field, and vice versa, creating a self-propagating wave.
How does electromagnetic energy traveling in transverse waves?
Electromagnetic energy travels in transverse waves by oscillating perpendicular to the direction of propagation. This means the electric and magnetic fields that make up the wave vibrate at right angles to the direction in which the wave is moving. This unique property allows electromagnetic waves to carry energy through vacuums and various mediums.
