The term is "electromagnetic waves". Such waves are variations in the electric and magnetic field of space, which propagate as a wave, at the speed of light. They include light itself, x-rays, radio waves, and others - really, the ONLY difference between the different types of electromagnetic waves are the differences in frequency, and the related differences in wavelength and energy per photon. (The photon is the individual particle of such a wave.)
What else can I help you with?
What (types) waves make up the electromagnetic spectrum?
Electormagnetic (EM) waves are all the waves and subsequent wavelengths that make up the Electromagnetic Spectrum. This includes but is not limited to: Radio Waves Infered Waves Visible Light Micro Waves X- Rays If you want a complete list look up the Electromagnetic Spectrum.
Can electormagnetic waves travel through a vacuum?
Yes, electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum because they do not require a medium to propagate. Examples of electromagnetic waves that can travel through a vacuum include visible light, radio waves, and X-rays.
What is electormagnetic radiation composed of?
Every electromagnetic radiation is composed of two components:an electric wave and a magnetic component.They both are perpendicular to each other.
6 types of electromagnetic waves?
Electromagnetic waves don't come in different types. They are all the same physical phenomenon, they all have the same speed in space, and they all exhibit the same electrical and optical behavior. Depending on their wavelength (frequency), we may call them radio, microwave, heat, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, soft x-ray, hard x-ray, or gamma ray but these are all simply different regions in the continuous distribution of the same phenomenon.
What are the 3 types of waves?
P-waves (Primary Waves) -- Body WaveS-waves (Secondary Waves) -- Body WaveSurface Waves (Rayleigh and Love)The 3 types of seismic waves are P waves, S waves and surface waves.
What type of waves are sound waves, and are they transverse waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, not transverse waves.
What is the waves?

The 3 types of seismic waves are what?
P-waves (Primary Waves) -- Body WaveS-waves (Secondary Waves) -- Body WaveSurface Waves (Rayleigh and Love)The 3 types of seismic waves are P waves, S waves and surface waves.
What are the two types of seismic surface waves?
body waves and surface waves
What waves start with the letter S?
