What is mean by Eletromagnetic waves?

The waves which have both properties as that of electricity & magnet.


What do the light waves travel more when they enter in water?

eletromagnetic waves


Eletromagnetic energy traveling in transverse waves is?

That is called an electromagnetic wave.


Is a water wave a electromagnetic?

No, eletromagnetic waves propagate in two planes (eletro-magnetic) and can propagate in a vacuum. Water waves, on the other hand, are dependant on matter to transfer energy, making it a mechanical wave, not an eletromagnetic one.


What is eletromagnetic energy used for?

There are a number of different things electromagnetic energy is used for. Some of those things include radio and TV waves, ultra-violet light, and X-Rays.


How are sound waves and eletromagnetic waves different?

Sound waves require a medium such as air, solid, or liquid in order to propagate. Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium for propagation and can move through a vacuum.

Which of the following waves does not require a medium through which to travel?

Any eletromagnetic wave. Light, visible or non visible.


A gamma ray consists of?

Unlike Alpha and Beta particles (helium nucleus and electron), Gamma rays are ultra-low-wavelength eletromagnetic waves, along with microwaves, radio waves, x-rays and light.


Why nitrogen is used as disinfectant?

Nitrogen is NOT a disinfectant. The air we breath is 80% Nitrogen, if Nitrogen were a disinfectant there would be no life on Earth!


Light and sound waves have many similar properties however light waves are what while sound waves are what?

Light waves are eletromagnetic waves and sound waves are mechanical waves. Additionally, a light wave is a transverse wave that does not require a medium through which to travel. Sound waves, on the other hand, are longitudinal waves where the source transfers the mechanical energy of the sound wave into the medium so it can travel.


What element is used in disinfectant?

Bromine is used for the disinfectanting of swimming pools.
