What form of energy travels as waves from the sun to the earth?
Answer: RadiationThis includes visible light, gamma rays, UV rays and other waves. They can be seen in the electromagnetic spectrum.
Energy from the sun travels to earth as?
Light waves / photons.These waves come in at different energies.Waves with very short wavelengths are blocked by our atmosphere, so the energy that reaches ground is mostly Radio Waves, Microwaves, Infrared light Visible Light, and UV rays.Some mass travels to Earth as "solar wind", also.
How does the sun release tremendory amount of energy?
The energy gets released mainly in the form of light and other electromagnetic waves.
What is a wide range of energy waves that radiate from the sun?
This refers to electromagnetic waves.These are:Radio waves (biggest wavelength)MicrowavesInfrared wavesVisible waves (light, the rainbow spectrum)Ultraviolet wavesX-ray wavesGamma waves (smallest wavelength).
What are the waves from the sun called?
The energy radiated from the sun is in the form of electromagnetic radiation or electromagnetic waves. The waves are noticed on Earth as visible light, as ultra-violet (light that is at a higher frequency than we can see) and infra-red (light that is at a lower frequency than we can see). Although the radiation is far more than just the range of visible light, we normally refer to the radiation as "sunlight"
Waves that do not requir matter to carry energy through space?
Radio waves and light waves.
Do light waves carry electrical and magnetic energy and does sound?
no
What is waves of energy?
Radio waves carry electromagnetic energy, just like light, X-rays, and microwaves.
What do Light waves carry from place to place?
Light waves are fluctuations in the electromagnetic field. They carry energy.In another model light is composed of photons, energy packets, where the energy is proportional to the color (in the wave model this is the wavelength).
Why do waves carry?
waves carry by energy and the energy is gravatational
What do waves carry as they move?
mechanical waves carry mechanical energy and electromagnetic waves carry electromagnetic energy.
What do waves carry that is common to all waves?
All waves carry energy.
What are two types of waves that carry energy?
As far as I know, ALL waves carry energy.As far as I know, ALL waves carry energy.As far as I know, ALL waves carry energy.As far as I know, ALL waves carry energy.
Waves and light waves carry electrical and magnetic energy is this true?
No way man!! You just got duped!! ☻
Can waves carry energy and matter?
Waves can transfer energy.
What do waves do not require to carry energy?
Radiation, or electromagnetic waves do not require matter to carry energy.
What kind of wave carries energy?
mechanical waves carry mechanical energy and electromagnetic waves carry electromagnetic energy.
