What is the relationship between electromagnetic waves and mediums?
Wiki User

The "medium" is whatever a wave requires, to be able to travel - so, the wave travels through a medium. In the case of electromagnetic waves, this medium is space itself, since it has certain electrical and magnetic properties.

What is the reason for ultrasonic waves not being in the form of electromagnetic waves?
Ultrasonic waves are high frequency sonic waves. They're sound, which is mechanical energy. Electromagnetic waves are waves of electromagnetic energy, like radio waves or light. Mechanical energy is different from electromagnetic energy, hence the reason for ultrasonic waves not taking the form of electromagnetic waves.
Sound is not part of the electromagnetic spectrum because?
because sound waves are not a electromagnetic waves because they need a medium for travel....hence electromagnetic spectrum is based on the electromagnetic waves ..like radio waves , micro waves , etc....
Are electromagnetic waves stronger than regular magnetic waves?
There is no such thing as a purely magnetic wave. The wave aspect of an electromagnetic wave comes from the oscillations between electric and magnetic fields.
The energy of visible light transported by electromagnetic waves are what type of waves?
electromagnetic waves are longitudinal (like a slinky).
Which is not a type of electromagnetic wave?
Sound waves aren't an electromagnetic wave. So aren't seismic waves. So aren't waves in the ocean, in your hair, or waves bye-bye.
What waves need a medium and which don't?
sound waves, water waves, shockwaves need mediums. Electromagnetic waves do not need a medium
What are three medium waves can travel through?
Not all waves require mediums to propagate.Sound waves can travel through solid, liquid and gaseous mediums, while, electromagnetic waves do not require any medium to travel through.
What is the relationship between the frequency and the wavelength of each electromagnetic wave?
frequency x wavelength = speed of the wave. This applies to all waves, not just to electromagnetic waves.
What are mediums that waves can travel through?
This depends a lot on the type of waves you're talking about. Sound waves, for example, can travel through water, solid, and air mediums, but not through a vacuum. Electromagnetic waves, however, can travel in a vacuum.
What is the relationship between visible light white light and electromagentic spectrum?
They all are electromagnetic waves
In electromagnetic waves what is the relationship between the frequency and the wavelength?
freq x wavelength = c (light speed)
What are the similarities between gamma rays and radio waves?
Both are electromagnetic waves.
What is the relationship between the frequency and wavelength of electromagnetic waves?
The product of (wavelength) times (frequency) is equal to the speed of the wave.
What expresses the relationship between frequency and wavelength of all types of electromagnetic waves?
They are inversely proportional to each other.
What is one major difference between electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves require a medium to travel, where electromagnetic waves do not.
What type of mediums are ocean waves?
Ocean waves are NOT mediums of any sort.
What is relation between light and electromagnetic waves?
Light is an electromagnetic wave.
