How are light waves and sound waves the same?

Wavelength (represented by the Greek letter lambda) is inversely proportional to frequency. Two waves may have different amplitudes but identical wavelengths if they have identical frequencies. Further, a sine wave and a square or sawtooth wave may have the same wavelength even though they do not look similar and have different amplitudes, as long as their frequencies are identical.


What kind of electromagnetic wave has a wavelength of 1Cm?

That is infra red. Scroll down to related links and look at "Radio and light waves in a vacuum".


An electromagnetic wave is slowed down if?

Well, to be honest, electromagnetic wave itself is never slowed down by anything and travels uniformly at the speed of light, c. However, when you look at macroscopic level, it is possible to slow down a combination of many many electromagnetic waves if they travel though a dense medium. The denser the medium, the more 'radiation' is slowed down. So slowing down process occurs when 'radiation' travels from less dense to more dense medium (the closed atoms are packed together, the more they absorb and reemit electromagnetic waves).


6 types of electromagnetic waves?

Electromagnetic waves don't come in different types. They are all the same physical phenomenon, they all have the same speed in space, and they all exhibit the same electrical and optical behavior. Depending on their wavelength (frequency), we may call them radio, microwave, heat, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, soft x-ray, hard x-ray, or gamma ray but these are all simply different regions in the continuous distribution of the same phenomenon.


What do the sound waves look like?

Like waves

How do you use x rays infrared rays radio waves and ultra violent waves?

The ultra violent rays bounce off of your bones and a computer prints out a picture of what your insides look like. By bouncing off of the bones the ultra violent rays can show all the solid things in you.

Is it true waves given off by electric power lines are too long to be seen?

Yes. What you need to look at is the electromagnetic spectrum. There are many great graphical illustrations of this on the web.

What would happen if you broke your tarsal bone?

You would have a pronounced limp due to your broken foot. Look at your hand, see the bones between your knuckles and your wrist? These are Carpals, your Tarsals are the same bones but in your feet.


What radiation travels in waves even through space?

Any electromagnetic wave can travel without a medium. These waves can range from a radio wave, to a light wave, all the way up to a gamma wave. look up the electro magnetic spectrum for full details.
