They are all transverse waves.
They can all travel at the speed of light, 3*10^8 m/s.
Able to travel through a vacuum or through a medium.
Formed by oscillating magnetic and electric fields.
All exibit other characteristics of waves such as reflection, refraction, interference and the Doppler Effect.
They have frequency, amplitude, and phase, and they progagate (radiate).
An electric field and a magnetic field both perpendicular to the direction of propagation.
Much of the math that describes their behavior.
Seismic waves are mechanical waves.
Quantifying the number of types of waves in fact reduces to the problem of quantifying the number of forces. In fact, mechanical waves are a subset of electromagnetic waves, so there are in fact three other types of waves on top of electromagnetic, for the three other fundamental forces: strong nuclear, weak nuclear, gravitational. Mechanical movement can be caused by any of the four fundamental forces. *Short answer: no. By the way, mechanical waves require a medium, where EM waves do not. They are the only, two, separate types of waves.
Definition of 'Electromagnetic Waves' Definition: Electromagnetic waves or EM waves are waves that are created as a result of vibrations between an electric field and a magnetic field. In other words, EM waves are composed of oscillating magnetic and electric fields.
Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to travel (light, radio).
Radiation is the means of heat conduction through electromagnetic (EM) waves. These waves are known as Thermal radiation and differ from other EM waves as Radio waves, Microwaves etc. The other two methods of heat transfer are Conduction and Convection where both require a medium (such as air, water etc.) for the transfer to take place.
The wave model of light and the particle model of light.
I think you are confusing something. Sound waves, and electromagnetic waves, are two different types of waves.
False
Electromagnetic wave is a form of transmitted energy. Electromagnetic radiation is so-named because it has electric and magnetic fields that simultaneously oscillate in planes mutually perpendicular to each other and to the direction of propagation through space. Electromagnetic wave has the dual nature ,i.e ,it exhibits wave properties and particulate properties both.A particle on the classical view is a concentration of energy and other properties in space and time, whereas a wave is spread out over a larger region of space and time. An electromagnetic wave is supposed to have both characters.
Take your pick: water waves, sound waves, electromagnetic waves, gravitational waves.
Those two descriptions are not mutually exclusive, and in fact, electromagnetic waves do both.
Kinetic and electromagnetic energy can travel in waves.
Two types: Radio Waves and Microwaves Description: A radiation wave caused by electric charge acceleration within the electro-magnetic field.
we use electromagnetic waves in radios and cell phones
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.
The speed of electromagnetic waves in a vacuum is the same as the speed of light (which is, in itself an electromagnetic wave). It can be measured by finding the frequency and wavelength of two different waves, and then by that correlation, the speed of the waveform.
There are two types of smoke detectors:Alpha particle - these do not use electromagnetic wavesPhotoelectric - these use a beam of either visible lightor near infrared electromagnetic waves
