What is electromagnetic radiation composed of?

Answer 1

Electromagnetic radiation is composed of electrons and photons. Since electromagnetic radiation can display wave as well as particle properties, the manner in which the radiation is presenting itself, and the way it is measured, will define which component or what ratio the components are present.

Answer 2

To make it a little easier to understand about light and waves of energy, the electro magnetic spectrum provides an illustrated method of showing the types of electromagnetic radiation in terms of wavelenghth and frequncy, and how small a part visible light actually is in the whole spectrum.

Visible light energy is made up of many frequencies and wavelengths and falls between Infrared and Ultra violet.

The rest of the Electromagnetic spectrum is made up from many other waves and energy including radio Waves, microwaves, infrared waves, ultraviolet waves X-Rays and gamma rays.

Answer 3

Moving charges.

Another opinion:

If an electromagnetic wave were made up of moving charges, you'd see lightning

shoot out of the meatloaf every time you nuke it in the microwave.

While moving charges may generate electromagnetic waves, the charges stay where

they are, while the waves go sailing away. The waves are made up of electrostatic

and magnetic fields.

Answer 4

An oscillating magnetic field orthogonal to an oscillating electric field of exactly the same frequency.

Answer 5

a band of colors formed when white light passes through a prism.

Answer 6

they consists of vibrating electric and magnetic fields that move through space at the speed of light.

Answer 7

They consist of electric and magnetic fields perpendicular to each other.

EM waves are transverse waves and they all travel at the speed of light in vacuum.

Answer 8

Photons
