What is energy that travels across distance in the form of EM waves?
"EM" stands for "electromagnetic" waves, a broad description that includes radio, microwave, heat, light, gamma rays and cosmic rays.
Why electromagnetic waves cannot be used in SONAR?
EM waves cannot be used in SONAR because water is a conducting medium and thus EM waves would get shorted
Does light travel as a particle or a wave?
it travels in an em ( electromagnetic wave) ranging from gamma rays to radio waves
What does the e stand for in EM waves?
EM waves stand for Electromagnetic waves.
What is the energy transferred as em waves?
EM waves or electromagnetic waves is radiant energy.
What does E in EM wave stand for?
EM waves stand for Electromagnetic waves.
Are em waves longitudinal are transverse?
EM waves are both Transverse and Longitudinal.
Type of radio waves that excites water molecules?
Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic radiation. The EM waves used in microwaves are chosen speciiffically for there ability to excite water molecules.
Do sound waves and electromagnetic radiation travel at the same speed?
Heaven's no! EM radiation travels at the speed of light: 299,792,458 m/s since it is carried by a massless particle called a photon. Sound waves are mechanical vibrations of molecules and aren't carried by photons. The speed of sound therefore varies drastically based on the material it is traveling through. In air, for example, it travels at 343 m/s, whereas in water, it travels at 1484 m/s.
Which EM waves have the longest wavelenghts?
Radio waves
Can you smell EM waves?
Electromagnetic waves have no odor.
How are EM waves formed?
When electrical charges get accelerated then it produces a kind of disturbance both electrical and magnetic in two perpendicular directions varying sinusoidally with time. The electrical vector and magnetic vector both will be perpendicular to the direction in which disturbance is propagating. Hence the electromagnetic wave is termed as transverse wave.
