Radio transmitters do not work in water. It acts like grounding your antenna. LASERs do. Sound works to a certain degree.

IS electromagnetic waves travel faster than speed of light?

Electromagnetic waves are, by definition, light. So they travel at the exact same speed as light.Also, a "Do" would be appropriate here, instead of an "IS".


The internal energy stored in the bonds between atoms is a form of potential energy that is sometimes called electromagnetic energy True or false?

False: The energy is called "chemical potential energy" instead of electromagnetic energy.


What waves make up the electromagnetic spectrum describe each?

Why electromagnetic waves of course. These are waves that require no material medium for their propagation, but instead propagate by the cyclic exchange of energy between their electrical and magnetic fields (which for a given wave are always polarized perpendicular to each other, as shown in the image above).The spectrum of electromagnetic waves is continuous with no gaps and spans a potential range of wavelengths from as small as roughly the diameter of protons and neutrons to almost as large as the known universe. Different bands within this spectrum interact with matter in different ways, have been given different names by humans, and some of these bands are used by humans for a variety of different purposes (e.g. communication, RADAR, cooking, heating, vision, medical).


What type of electromagnetic radiation is absorbed by the sample in mass spectrometry?

Mass spectrometry doesn't use electromagnetic radiation, hence why it is not called Mass spectroscopy. Instead Mass spectrometry uses high energy electrons to ionize the sample molecules, which helps determine the mass of the molecules and any fragmented ions from the parent ion.


What causes a cosmological redshift?

A redshift occurs when the wavelengths increase in objects by light or electromagnetic radiation levels in an object. In cosmological redshift also has to do with light; however, instead of an increase in wavelengths, there is an expansion of the universe.

How could i make sentence with the word acoustic?

I like the way this song sounds when it is played with an acoustic guitar.


What is a sentence for acoustic?

Acoustic can mean not amplified, as in an acoustic guitar. The MTV show "Unplugged" features bands playing acoustic guitars instead of electric ones. Acoustic can mean the properties of the environment which reflect sound. The acoustic tile in the room deadened the noise. Acoustic can also mean the sonar or radar signature of an object. The sonar operator said the acoustic signature was only that of a whale.


What are acoustic guitars used for?

An acoustic pickup is used to amplify an acoustic guitar. Instead of amplifying an acoutic guitar's sound via a microphone, an acoustic pickup can be mounted on the guitar over the soundhole to provide sound amplification.


Can acoustic guitars be tuned with electric guitar tuners?

Only if the tuner has a built-in microphone, or if the acoustic guitar has a pickup which can be plugged into a tuner that only has an input jack instead of a microphone.


What is the difference between a solid body guitar and an acoustic?

An acoustic is a guitar that is hollow, and has a large hole in the body to create the nice sounds that an acoustic makes. A solid body guitar does not have a hole, and is not hollow. It uses pickups instead of a hole and is usually a lot smaller.


What is the difference between acoustic music and electric music?

Electric music relies on electrical signals to pass through a microphone, and amplifier to make sound. Acoustic music uses no electricity to produce sound, relying instead of echoes produced inside the instrument. Also acoustic is more hollow and electric has a sharper sound.


How did the acoustic guitar come to exist?

It evolved from the lute c. 1350 BC which has gone through many phases and has turned into instruments such as the violin, mandolin and acoustic guitar. Instead of playing it with a bow it is just strummed and has two more strings.


IS electromagnetic waves travel faster than speed of light?

Electromagnetic waves are, by definition, light. So they travel at the exact same speed as light.Also, a "Do" would be appropriate here, instead of an "IS".


How an iPod Touch works?

It uses a touch screen instead of physical buttons using electromagnetic fields.


Could you get a nylon acoustic guitar re-stringed so it could be a normal acoustic instead of nylon?

I would not advise this because most classical, or nylon string guitars do not have the steel reinforcing rod in the neck of the guitar that the steel string guitars have.


What math concept did the Mayans and Aztecs use?

They are credited with discovering the concept of zero.


What does stripped-down mean in music. Is it a synonym for acoustic?

this may not be anywhere close, but i THINK that an acoustic version usually means that instead of the typical lead guitar in the song, chords are played, and stripped means the typical lead is played on acoustic guitar...again that may be wrong but thats what i think haha
