Light waves have electromagnetic energy. Could be considered as quantum of energy with an expression E = h v. v is the frequency of light wave. h - Planck's constant. E - the energy possessed by the quantum. This quantum is also known as photon

Which type of light does the electromagnetic spectrum NOT contain?

The electromagnetic spectrum does not contain sound waves. It includes a range of electromagnetic waves, from radio waves to gamma rays, but does not include mechanical waves like sound.


What kind of energy are in light waves?

Light waves contain electromagnetic energy. This energy is in the form of photons, which are packets of electromagnetic radiation that carry energy and momentum.


What is energy called by electromagnetic waves?

Energy carried by electromagnetic waves is called electromagnetic energy. These waves contain a mix of both electrical and magnetic fields, moving at the speed of light. Different types of electromagnetic waves include visible light, radio waves, microwaves, and X-rays.


The intensity of light waves is a measure of what?

The intensity of light waves is a measure of the energy carried by the waves. It is proportional to the square of the amplitude of the waves. The intensity of light waves determines how bright the light appears to us.


How are ultraviolet waves different from light waves?

Ultraviolet waves are smaller than light waves.


Are sound waves stronger than light waves?

No because light waves are stronger and brighter and sound waves are light and dull


Do all light waves emit radiation?

Light waves do not emit radiation, light waves are radiation.


Light waves are classified as what waves?

Optical light waves are "Electromagnetic" waves. The colour seen is dependent on the wavelength of the light. Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves where the oscillation is 90 degrees to the direction of travel (unlike sound waves which are longitudinal).


What type of energy do x rays contain?

X-rays contain electromagnetic energy, which is a form of energy that travels in waves and does not require a medium to propagate. They are a high-energy form of light with shorter wavelengths than visible light.


Why the radio waves are similar to light waves but not sound wavesexplain?

Radio and light waves are electromagnetic waves, sound waves are not.


1 What types of waves are light and electromagnetic waves?

The type of waves that are electromagnetic are the visible light waves


What are strong light waves?

Strong light waves refer to light waves that have a high intensity or brightness. These waves have a higher amplitude and carry more energy compared to weaker light waves. Strong light waves can be produced by sources such as the sun, lasers, or powerful light bulbs.
