Which type of energy travels in waves?
An electromagnetic wave, such as light.An electromagnetic wave, such as light.An electromagnetic wave, such as light.An electromagnetic wave, such as light.
What is transfferd by electromagnetic waves?
Good question! Electromagnetic energy is transferred. Because wave is nothing but a passage of disturbance produced at one point to the other by wave propagation. As electric and magnetic variations lead to building up of other forms of energy we consider this as transfer of electromagnetic energy
What kind of wave does electromagnetic energy travel in?
The wave is called an electromagnetic wave.
What is the relationship between energy transferred by a quantum of electromagnetic radiation and the penetrating ability of the wave?
Energy increases as the wavelength decreases.
Is an electromagnetic a compresinal wave?
No, an electromagnetic wave is NOT a compressional wave. An electromagnetic wave is best described as a transverse wave. Remember that in a compressional wave, the energy moves parallel to the medium of the wave, while in a transverse wave, the energy moves perpendicular to the medium.
Electromagnetic waves dont carry any matter what do they carry?
Electromagnetic waves carry energy and information. Energy is transferred through the oscillation of electric and magnetic fields, while information can be encoded in the frequency, amplitude, and phase of the wave.
What kind of wave transfers energy but no matter?
water waves ? Electromagnetic waves are an obvious example. Generally, it is a characteristic of waves that matter is not transferred.
What wave is radiant energy a form of?
Electromagnetic wave
What determines the energy of an electromagnetic wave?
Frequency determines the scalar energy of electromagnetic wave, E= hf=hc/r.
What electromagnetic wave transmits?
Electromagnetic waves transfer energy.
Gamma wave is what type of wave?
It is a high energy electromagnetic wave.
What is one low energy electromagnetic wave?
Radio waves. But the question should be, "What is one type of low energy electromagnetic wave?"
