What is light desribed in terms of electromagnetic waves?

Electromagnetic waves move in an oscilating fashion and do not need a medium. Light waves do not need a medium but light waves are considered both particles and waves (Dual Nature of Light). Neither can explain everything but allow us to learn some things. Light waves are simply a type of electromagnetic waves, there are other types (microwaves, x-rays etc.) Also, light waves are the only electromagnetic waves that we are able to see. Light waves also allow us to see colors (the electromagnetic spectrum).ANSWERAll electromagnetic waves, including light, have both wave and particle properties. It is more convenient to describe all electromagnetic radiation in terms of wavelength including light but also radio waves. If fact, all matter has wave properties. This is the principle of the eletron microscope where the wave proerties of electrons are used. Calculating the wavelength of a tennis ball is also possible. (See De Broglie wavelength)


What are properties of waves?

There are different kinds of wave, such as sound waves, electromagnetic waves, water waves etc. So the first property I would describe as the wave medium. Then you would have the additional properties of amplitude and frequency.


Are all waves mechanical waves?

maybe? ----- No, you are forgetting about electromagnetic radiation such as a light, radio, x-rays, and so on that also have wave properties. Mechanical waves are able to travel through matter but electromagnetic waves can travel in a vacuum.
