From one place to another.
From the source of the radiation to whatever ultimately absorbs it.
Example: Using your flashlight to see a rock on the ground at night.
-- The energy begins as chemical energy inside the batteries in the flashlight.
-- You switch the flashlight on. Electric current flows through the light bulb or LEDs.
Most of the energy in the current changes to light energy and heat energy.
The light energy pours out of the front of the flashlight.
-- All of the air that the light passes through absorbs some of its energy.
-- A lot of the light misses the rock, and hits the ground. The ground absorbs most
of the energy in the light that hits it. Not much of the light energy that hits the
ground bounces off of it. That's why the ground looks dark to you.
-- Some of the light goes straight to the rock and hits it. The rock absorbs most of
the energy in the light that hits it. Not much of the light energy that hits the rock
bounces off of it. That's why the rock looks dark to you.
-- Any light energy that hits the ground or the rock, bounces off of them, and hits your shirt,
is absorbed by your shirt.
-- Any light energy that hits the ground or the rock, bounces off of them, and
happens to go through the dark circle in the middle of your eye, is absorbed in
the cells on the back surface of your eye. That energy generates a little bit of
chemical action, which generates a little bit of electric current, which flows through
the optic nerve, to your brain, whereupon your brain generates the message "Hey!
There's a rock right there, on the ground!"
first of all electromagnetic waves are energy waves. and we call electromagnetic waves RADIATION.
A piece of wood is not considered electromagnetic energy. Electromagnetic energy refers to the energy carried by electromagnetic waves, such as light, radio waves, and X-rays. Wood does not emit or interact with electromagnetic waves in the same way that energy does.
That energy is called "electromagnetic waves" or "electromagnetic energy".
Photosynthesis is powered by light energy from the sun; and sunlight is a type of energy called electromagnetic energy or radiation. Electromagnetic energy travels in space as rhythmic waves.
EM waves or electromagnetic waves is radiant energy.
the tranfer of energy from the sun in form of electromagnetic waves is known as radiation.
first of all electromagnetic waves are energy waves. and we call electromagnetic waves RADIATION.
Electromagnetic waves transfer energy.
Energy transferred by electromagnetic waves is called radiation.
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.
electromagnetic waves are longitudinal (like a slinky).
mechanical waves carry mechanical energy and electromagnetic waves carry electromagnetic energy.
Through Radiation
Electromagnetic energy travels in waves.

The waves that are the most infictint are the seismic waves
