What are examples of electromagnet?

Electromagnetic energy is an invisible form of energy in the transverse wave form. Of the many types of energy in our universe, this form of energy is the only one that does not require a medium or matter to travel on or in. This form of energy can travel through empty space as a transverse wave. There are many different types of electromagnetic energy. Examples of Electromagnetic Energy: 1. Radio waves 2. Microwaves 3. Infrared radiation 4. Visible light - all colors of the spectrum that we can see. 5. Ultraviolet light 6. X-rays 7. Gamma radiation


What is the relation between light year and metre?

A meter is defined as the length light travels in 1/299,792,458th of a second. This is because light travels at 299,792.458 kilometers per second.


What is the relationship between the energy and wavelength of electromagnetic radiation?

Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional. The higher the frequency, the shorter (lower) the wavelength. Energy is proportional to frequency, and higher frequency waves will have a higher energy. Mathematically, frequency = 1 divided by wavelength, or f = 1/λ Use the link below for more information, including a diagram or two to make things clearer.


What are three examples of electromagnetic energy?

One example of electromagnetic source is a microwave. Forms of electromagnetic energy are gamma rays, x rays, ultraviolet radiation, and visible light.


Wavelength symbol and unit of measurement?

The symbol for wavelength is the lower case Greek letter lambda - which looks like an upside-down y. The unit of measurement depends on the kind of wave: electromagnetic waves, for example, have wavelengths ranging from 10^-11 metres (10 picometres) to 1 kilometre. Other waves can have even longer wavelengths.

What are 2 types of waves?

Two types of waves are mechanical waves, which require a medium to propagate (e.g. sound waves), and electromagnetic waves, which can propagate through vacuum (e.g. light waves).


What kind of waves are gamma rays and radio waves?

Radio waves are electromagnetic waves and are a part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Other electromagnetic waves in the electromagnetic spectrum are microwaves, visible light, infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays


How are electromagnetic waves formed when 4 hydrogen atoms fuse into 1 helium atom?

light waves are produced by our star. they are electromagnetic waves. please explain.


Will electromagnetic waves pass though walls that light can't?

First of all ... light is electromagnetic waves. But we think we understand what you're asking ...Can longer or shorter electromagnetic waves get in where light can't ?Here's a 'thought experiment' that can answer that question:1). Can you listen to your radio down in a dark part of your basement where there's no sunlight?2). Can the x-ray machine at the airport check items inside your suitcase or briefcase ?(Here's a small hint: The answer to both questions is 'Yes'.)

Waves can be classified as mechanical or electromagnetic, and transverse or longitudinal. There are many other types of waves depending...TYPES OF BREAKING WAVES: 1.Spilling Breakers 2.Plunging 3.Surging 4.Collapsing 5.Mathematicsyes it is true for all waves.


How do you know that light is an example of electromagnet waves?

Physicists Maxwell and Weber noticed that the calculated speed of electromagnetic waves from electric parameters c^2=1/eu was the same as the speed of light. Weber considered it a coincidence. Maxwell considered that it was a discovery, that light was an electromagnetic wave. Heinrich Hertz created electromagnetic waves proving that these EM waves had all the properties of light but a different frequency than optical light. Maxwell prediction that Light was an electromagnetic wave is a a highlight of Physics.

What are facts about electromagnetic waves?

Microwaves are transverse waves like all electromagnetic waves meaning they can be polarised; their wavelengths range from 1 metre to 1 millimetre (1x10-3m). They are basically high frequency radio waves.
