What evidence is there that sound waves are all electromagnetic in nature?
I think you are confusing something. Sound waves, and electromagnetic waves, are two different types of waves.
Science?
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.
What is the frequency of mechanical and electromagnetic waves dependent upon?
The frequency of any wave is completely determined at its source, and doesn'tchange once the wave leaves the source.The speed of the wave depends on the characteristics of the medium throughwhich it's traveling ... of mechanical waves by the physical characteristics of themedium, and of electromagnetic waves by its electrical characteristics.
What characteristics of the electromagnetic waves predicted by maxwells theory led him to suggest that light might be electromagnetic wave?
The speed calculated for such waves, which happened to be precisely the speed of light.
Are the sun's rays mechanical waves or electromagnetic waves?
Electromagnetic waves
Who contributed to the evidence of electromagnetic waves and their link to light?
James Clerk Maxwell derived the existence of electromagnetic waves. Due to its speed (as calculated from his equations), which is the speed of light, he concluded that light is probably also an electromagnetic wave. This was confirmed later.
How are electromagnetic waves different to radio waves?
Radio waves ARE electromagnetic waves.
How are electromagnetic waves transfered?
Electromagnetic waves are transferred by electromagnetic radiation.
What is the transfer of energy as electromagnetic waves?
first of all electromagnetic waves are energy waves. and we call electromagnetic waves RADIATION.
Are suns rays mechanical waves or electromagnetic waves?
