Why is a vibrating electric field an example of an electromagnetic wave?
A vibrating electric field produces a changing magnetic field, which then generates a changing electric field and so on, creating a self-propagating wave. This wave consists of oscillating electric and magnetic fields perpendicular to each other and to the direction of wave propagation, thus exhibiting the characteristics of an electromagnetic wave.
Is an electric field associated with an electromagnetic wave constant in time?
No, the electric field oscillates in magnitude and direction as it propagates in the electromagnetic wave.
Is sunshine a mechanical wave?
No, it is an electromagnetic wave containing electric field component and a magnetic field component.
What type of wave is being used in a light wave?
A (transverse) electromagnetic wave. A Travelling (sine) wave of electric field induces a coupled travelling magnetic field wave, which in turn supports the electric component.
What are the two components of light wave?
The electric and the magnetic field components.
Composition of an electrormagnetic wave?
An electromagnetic wave is composed of two parts. One is the magnetic field and the other is the electric field.
What does electromagnetic waves means?
An electromagnetic wave, in its simplest description, is a wave that as it propagates keeps converting its magnetic field into an electric field while converting its electric field into a magnetic field.
What two kinds of fields make up an EM wave?
An electric field and a magnetic field make up an electromagnetic wave. These fields are perpendicular to each other and oscillate in phase as the wave propagates through space.
Can a sound wave produce a magnetic field?
sound wave cannot produce magnetic field because magnetic field is created due to flow of electric currents sound is a mechanical wave, sound is produced due to vibration in a medium so sound wave cannot create electric current or magnetic field
How is an electromagnet wave generated?
We produce electric field and magnetic field. If we change the electric field with time (so magnetic field alse change), required frequency, then we produce electromagnetic wave.
What are two fields in a light wave?
Two fields in a light wave are the electric field and the magnetic field. These fields oscillate perpendicular to each other and to the direction of propagation of the light wave.
Does an electromagnetic wave have an electric field?
Yes
