What waves can transfer energy with out a medium?

Electromagnetic waves, such as light and radio waves, can transfer energy through a vacuum without the need for a medium. This is because electromagnetic waves are made up of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that can propagate through empty space.


How does energy transfer to the air?

Energy transfers to the air through processes such as conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction occurs when there is direct contact between a warmer object and the air, transferring heat. Convection involves the movement of hot air rising and cool air sinking, creating a transfer of energy. Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.


What forms of electromagnetic energy carry most of the energy of the sun to earth?

It is radiated electromagnetic energy, the only sort that can travel through space.


Why are electromagnetic waves sometimes called transverse waves?

Because the theory is that this is what the form is. If it were a longitudinal or compressional form (such as sound) it would need to travel through a medium of some sort to compress the particles of that medium. But electromagnetic radiation can travel even in a vacuum.


Does all energy released take the form of electromagnetic waves of one sort or another at a micro-level before mainfesting on a macro-level?

Barring direct transfer of different types of energy such as from kinetic to potential, there are other ways for energy to be released in the form of particles. According to the Standard Model of Atomic Structure, these particles are called leptons. This includes the photons which pervade in electromagnetic waves, as well as the graviton, higgs boson, and W and Z +/- bosons. So to answer your question in simple terms, no.


What are all the types waves?

They all carry some sort of energy.Three types of mechanical waves are transverse, longitudinal, & surface waves. M Some different types of waves are: light, sound, and seismic. Waves can be classified as mechanical or electromagnetic, and transverse or longitudinal. There are many other types of waves depending...TYPES OF BREAKING WAVES: 1.Spilling Breakers 2.Plunging 3.Surging 4.Collapsing 5.Mathematicsyes it is true for all waves.

Why cant sound waves travel through empty space?

Sound waves are mechanical waves, NOT electromagnetic waves. Mechanical waves need a substance to pass through, that is, they need some sort of surface to vibrate against to send compression waves through to the surrounding air. Electromagnetic waves however may travel through empty space as they have no need for a surface, instead, they need only electric and magnetic fields that are present in empty space to pass through. (vibrating electric fields will, in turn, vibrate the magnetic field, which will then trigger a nearby electric field to vibrate, which will make another magnetic field to vibrate, and this is how electromagnetic waves may travel through empty space, but mechanical waves may not)


Is it true that a gamma ray primarily consists of pure energy and no mass?

A gamma ray is an electromagnetic wave, as is light. This makes it similar to light. You might say it is "pure energy". But please note that any energy has an associated mass, which can be calculated by dividing the energy by c2.


When an electron moves from a lower energy level to a higher energy level to the atom?

The atom will emit some sort of electromagnetic radiation. It can range from x-rays to visible light depending on which energy levels are involved

How are em waves used in dentistry?

EM waves stands for Electromagnetic Waves. The EM waves used in dentistry are usually X-Rays. These electromagnetic waves go through your skin and other body tissue (don't worry it's not very harmful or bad for you). And reflect off your bones. Think of it as a camera, the X-Ray machine sends out a flash, then takes the picture. This 'picture' shows where your bones are and whats happening to them, like, are they coming out as an adult tooth? or will you need braces in a few years. That sort of thing.
