What is a type of electromagnetic wave that you can see and that transfers energy?
Visible or optical electromagnetic waves.
Is is it possible for an electromagnetic wave to travel through a vcuum?
Did you ever see the Sun, the Moon, or the Stars? The light that reaches us from them is an electromagnetic wave, and it travels through empty space.
What kind of energy enables us to see?
Light, for humans "visible light" which is a form of electromagnetic radiation with a relatively wide range of wavelengths. The absorption or reflection of the various wavelengths of light by objects are what define their color.
What wave is detected by the ear?
I'm assuming by "waves" you mean "electromagnetic waves," since there are ocean waves and a few other waves that we can see too. We can also perceive sound waves, but cannot see them. The electromagnetic waves that we can see are called the "visibile lights." Their wavelength range from about 760 nm( 760*10^-9 m), bright red, to about 390 nm, bright violet. Their frequency range from about 4*10^14 Hz to 7.9*10^14 Hz, respectively. Infrared and Ultraviolet are NOT a part of visible light. No he means waves in the sea
What does the frequency of a light wave tell you?
The frequency of a light wave determines its color. Refer to the electromagnetic spectrum to see the exact wavelengths of certain waves and what their colors would be.
Night vision goggles allow yon to see warm objects in a dark environment which type of electromagnetic wave do they detect?
They allow you to see infared rays
What electromagnetic wave that can see?
none its invisible
What is a type of electromagnetic wave that you can see and that transfers energy?
Visible or optical electromagnetic waves.
An instrument that enables scientists to see tiny objects?
microscope?
Do stars produce electromagnetic waves?
Didn't you ever see a star? - Light is a type of electromagnetic wave.

What are the benefits of visible light?
you can usually understand what you are looking at, but they cant see much. if you want a telescope that can see BILLIONS of light years away, i'd invest in an infared telescope.they are heat powered, so you can see how hot your favorite star is. just dont try the sun.
Why electromagnetism is a wave?
electromagnetic radiation is not just simply a wave. When observed it appears to be a particle, when measured a wave. See the wiki article on the double-slit experiment.
Why do you have light?
Light is a result of one of the fundamental forces in nature, the electromagnetic forces. Light is an electromagnetic wave. It exists because the electromagnetic force exists.
What electromagnetic wave allowed us to see through dusty clouds and observe stars forming for the very first time?
The electromagnetic wave that allowed us to see through dusty clouds and observe stars forming for the very first time is the infrared radiation.
Do electromagnetic waves need a medium?
No. We get electromagnetic waves from the sun. We can see stars and sun even though there is a virtual vacuum between us. Electromagnetic radiation or electromagnetic waves includes the radio and television signals that we can get from space satellites.Sound is not an electromagnetic wave, it needs a medium.
