What three ways can differ electromagnetic waves from sound waves?
Wiki User
∙ 14y ago
Electromagnetic waves are transverse in nature where as sound waves are longitudinal.
Electromagnetic waves can pass even through vacuum but sound waves are mechanical waves that means it needs badly a material medium
Sound waves can be sensed by ear where as electromagnetic waves are sensed by eyes.

Why can electromagnetic waves travel through space and not sound waves?
Sound waves need a physical material to carry them, but electromagnetic waves don't.
How do sound waves differ from water waves?
they differ because waves are sound waves and water waves are waves in the water.
What evidence is there that sound waves are all electromagnetic in nature?
I think you are confusing something. Sound waves, and electromagnetic waves, are two different types of waves.
Is a sound wave a electromagnetic wave in nature?
No. Sound waves are mechanical waves.
How does the human brain perceive infrared sound wave reflections from stationary metal objects?
The term "infrared" refers to electromagnetic waves, not to sound waves.
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.
How do sound waves differ from water waves?
they differ because waves are sound waves and water waves are waves in the water.
What does contrast electromagnetic waves with water and sound waves mean?
It means explain how electromagnetic waves are different than water and sound waves.
Why can electromagnetic waves travel through space and not sound waves?
Sound waves need a physical material to carry them, but electromagnetic waves don't.
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....
Sound waves are examples of?
electromagnetic waves
What evidence is there that sound waves are all electromagnetic in nature?
I think you are confusing something. Sound waves, and electromagnetic waves, are two different types of waves.
How do waves differ from one another?
Electromagnetic waves differ in there properties because of the difference in there frequency
How much pollution does a electromagnetic wave cause?
Electromagnetic waves only cause sound pollution because they are sound waves.
Light waves differ fundamentally from either water waves or sound waves because?
Sound and water waves are mechanical and therefore need a medium. Light is an electromagnetic wave which travels as a particle-wave, so it does not need a medium to travel through.
What happens when transverse electromagnetic waves encounter cavity?
light waves or electromagnetic waves are transverse and sound waves are longitudinal
Is a sound wave a electromagnetic wave in nature?
No. Sound waves are mechanical waves.
