What else can I help you with?
Are light waves electromagnetic or mechanical?
Light waves are electromagnetic in nature. They consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that do not require a medium (such as air or water) to propagate through. This is different from mechanical waves, like sound waves, which require a medium to travel through.
Are light waves considered to be mechanical in nature?
No, light waves are not considered to be mechanical in nature. They are a form of electromagnetic radiation that does not require a medium to travel through, unlike mechanical waves such as sound waves.
Are electromagnetic waves longitudinal or transverse in nature?
Electromagnetic waves are transverse in nature.
Is light considered a electromagnetic wave?
Light is said to be of dual nature so it has particle nature as well as wave nature but there is a difference in waves and electromagnetic waves. so ,as for your question "Is light a electromagnetic wave" the answer is "no"More precisely, if visible is not an electromagnetic wave, the NO part of the electromagnetic spectrum could be considered to be an electromagnetic wave. By any definition of the term, the answer is 'Yes'
1 What types of waves are light and electromagnetic waves?
The type of waves that are electromagnetic are the visible light waves
What Waves that can travel through a vacuum?
Electromagnetic waves, such as light and radio waves, can travel through a vacuum because they do not require a medium to propagate. This is possible due to the nature of electromagnetic radiation as oscillating electric and magnetic fields that can exist independently of a medium.
Is light and electromagnetic waves are alike?
Light is the visible form of electromagnetic waves.
How are light waves related to the electromagnetic spectrum?
Light waves are a type of electromagnetic wave that falls within the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum includes all types of electromagnetic waves, ranging from radio waves to gamma rays. Light waves are a specific range of electromagnetic waves that are visible to the human eye.
Light waves are classified as what waves?
Optical light waves are "Electromagnetic" waves. The colour seen is dependent on the wavelength of the light. Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves where the oscillation is 90 degrees to the direction of travel (unlike sound waves which are longitudinal).
What is the type of light waves?
Transverse / Electromagnetic depending on the context of the question
What are waves that travel through space at the speed of light called?
All electromagnetic waves travel through space at the "speed of light". Light is one form of electromagnetic waves.
Does light travel as electric waves convex waves luminescent waves or electromagnetic waves?
electromagnetic waves
