What waves are electromagnetic waves?

Answer 1

Electromagnetic waves include radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, x-rays, gamma rays.All of these are really the same thing (at least, for a physicist); the difference is in frequency, and the amount of energy per photon.

Answer 2

Electromagnetic waves, or more accurately, electromagnetic radiation is when an electric field and magnetic field (which are always tied together) are oscillating.

It is like if you take a rope and place it on the ground all stretched out and move one end side to side (quickly), it makes a wave go down the rope.

As the electric and magnetic fields move back and forth, they create the same waves being emitted from them. They waves are called electromagnetic waves/radiation.

There are 7 classifications of these waves. Radiowaves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet light, X-rays, and gamma rays. These blend into one another in a continuous spectrum.

Answer 3

Electromagnetic waves include radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, x-rays, gamma rays.All of these are really the same thing (at least, for a physicist); the difference is in frequency, and the amount of energy per photon.

Answer 4

Light, microwaves, x-rays, and TV and radio transmissions are all kinds of electromagnetic waves.

Answer 5

your question is kind of general, but i would say a transverse wave.
