Light energy travels in the form of?

They travels in the form of waves and are filtered through the Earth's atmosphere.


Do all forms of energy travel in waves?

In short, no. Most energy that travels via waves is electromagnetic, although sound (and probably a few other types of energy) travels has waveforms too. A couple of examples of energy that don't travel in waves are potential energy, kinetic energy and chemical energy. Thermal energy can travel via waves as radiation energy (electromagnetic). Other forms of thermal energy transfer doesn't travel in waves.


What is the Energy that travels across distances in the form of electromagnetic waves?

Energy transfered in the form of electromagnetic waves is classified according to wavelength of the radiation. Radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet light, X-rays and gamma rays are all forms of electromagnetic radiation.


What energy such as ultraviolet radiation travels in the form of waves?

I think your confused over the definition of "energy", all electromagnetic waves carry "energy" in the form of photons, photon energy is equal to E=hf (Planck constant x frequency) frequency can be found from f=c (speed of light in a vacuum)/wavelength


What is the transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves?

The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves is called electromagnetic radiation. Light, radio waves and X-rays are a few other examples of this radiation phenomenon. The Transfer process is the "flow" of particles from one location to another. The best visual example is the transfer of "heat" from one source to another.

Why does a radio waves carry less energy than an ultraviolet wave?

From the equation E=hv where h= plank's constant v=frequency and ultraviolet waves has more frequency than radio waves hence ultraviolet waves have more energy.


What energy is ultraviolet rays?

Ultraviolet rays, or radiation, is a type of electromagnetic waves.


What type of energy does a bulb produce?

A light bulb radiates energy in form of electromagnetic waves. Most of them are in the infrared part of the spectrum (heat), some visible light and some in higher regions of the spectrum (ultraviolet), especially bulbs with very high filament temperature (halogen).Another answerA light bulb does not "produce" energy it uses electricity or more specifically changes electrical energy to electromagnetic waves in the forms of thermal and light.Thermal (or heat) waves at invisible infrared frequenciesLight waves at visible frequencies and invisible ultraviolet frequenciesFurther noteElectromagnetic radiation that has a wavelength in the range from about 4,000 (violet) to about 7,700 (red) angstroms may be perceived by the normal unaided human eye.


Why does a radio wave carry less energy than an ultraviolet wave?

From the equation E=hv where h= plank's constant v=frequency and ultraviolet waves has more frequency than radio waves hence ultraviolet waves have more energy.


What electromagnetic waves has the highest energy?

The highest energy are the gamma rays.


What travels faster radio waves or ultraviolet waves?

neither... they both are electromagnetic waves and therefore travel at the same speed... but ultraviolet waves have a higher frequency and also have more energy than radio waves


What forms of energy travels in varying wavelengths such as visible light infrared waves radio waves ultraviolet waves and X-rays?

Electromagnetic energy

What energies can thermal energy transfer into?

one energy that thermal energy can transfer into is radiation energy. It can transfer into that because of the electromagnetic waves.


What electromagnetic waves would you expect to produce a photoelectric effect radio waves infrared waves ultraviolet waves X rays or gamma rays?

ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and gamma rays would all do that
