Electromagnetic waves refer to a whole family of waves that are emitted by moving charges. These include gamma rays, xrays, ultraviolet light, regular light, infrared light, microwaves and radio waves. They all have the same basic characteristics but have dififferent frequency and wavelength ranges. They are made up of electric and magnetic fields. These fields can exert forces on charges they hit and cause them to move. So radio waves emitted by a radio station transmitter travel thru space and hit the antenna in your radio. This causes the charges in the antenna to move which is then converted back into sound. Light waves that hit your arm cause the charges to move and you feel warm etc.

What type of waves are sound waves, and are they transverse waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, not transverse waves.

What is the waves?
Mechanical waves Electromagnetic waves Transverse waves Longitudinal waves
What are the two types of seismic surface waves?
body waves and surface waves
What waves start with the letter S?
Some answers:Sea waves.Sigmoid waves,Sine waves,Soliton waves,Sound waves,Standing waves,Stationary waves.
What 2 waves are surface waves?
Love waves and Rayleigh waves are surface waves
Are p waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
Are P-waves and S-waves transverse or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
What are the 5 main waves in science?
Magnetic waves electromagnetic waves wind waves surface waves capillary waves
Are radio waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.
Are seismic waves transverse or compressional waves?
Seismic waves can be either transverse or compressional. P-waves are compressional waves that travel fastest, while S-waves are transverse waves that travel slower. Both types of waves are generated by earthquakes and used to study the Earth's interior.
