Electromagnetic waves can be radio waves, microwaves, infrared, (visible) light, ultraviolet light, X-rays, gamma rays, etc. All of these listed things differ only in their frequency and wavelength.

X-rays are the same thing as light emitted from a light bulb. The only difference is that X-rays have a much higher frequency than visible light. As a result, X-rays have much more energy, which make them harmful to living tissue.

What is the frequency of an electomagnetic wave?

The frequency of an electromagnetic wave is the number of complete cycles of the wave that pass a given point in one second. It is measured in Hertz (Hz), where one hertz equals one cycle per second.


What energy is a light?

light energy is any visible form of energy that forms part of the electomagnetic spectum it is therefore transmitted as any form of electromagnetic wave.

How are frequency and wavelength of electomagnetic waves realted?

Frequency and wavelength of electromagnetic waves are inversely proportional. This means that as the frequency of a wave increases, its wavelength decreases, and vice versa. This relationship is described by the equation: wavelength = speed of light / frequency.


What type of wave is a light wave an example of?

Light is an example of a electromagnetic wave.


Which electomagnetic wave transfers the most energy?

Gamma rays have the highest energy among all electromagnetic waves and can transfer the most energy due to their short wavelengths and high frequency.

What is an example of a body wave?

An example of a body wave is a seismic wave that moves through the Earth's interior, such as a P-wave or S-wave. These waves can travel through solids and liquids and are responsible for the initial shaking felt during an earthquake.

Which one of the following is not an example of a mechanical wave water wave earthquake wave sound wave or radio wave?

Radio wave is not an example of a mechanical wave because it is an example of an electromagnetic wave. Mechanical waves require a medium to propagate, while electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum.
