EM waves your body senses as heat?

these waves are known as Infrared Waves. On the EM spectrum the are between visible light and microwaves. It means "below red".


How is the fact that P waves travel more quickly the S waves used to determine the distance of an earthquake's epicenter from a seismograph station?

The time difference between the arrival of P waves and S waves at a seismograph station is used to determine the distance of an earthquake's epicenter. By measuring this time lag and knowing the speed at which each wave travels through the Earth's interior, scientists can calculate the distance the waves traveled to reach the station. The farther apart the arrival times of P and S waves, the greater the distance of the epicenter from the station.


What are the types of waves in the electromagnetic spectrum?

The types of waves in the electromagnetic spectrum include radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet light, X-rays, and gamma rays. These waves differ in their frequencies and wavelengths, with radio waves having the longest wavelength and lowest frequency, while gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency.


What types of waves are found in electromagnetic spectrum for studying the universe?

The waves are called "electromagnetic waves". All types of EM waves can be used to study the Universe.


Do stars have electromagnetic waves and how is it a known fact of this information?

Stars don't have electromagnetic waves. They absorb them and release them. It is not a known fact because electromagnetism is only a theory for now. However, light that reach us from stars are said to be EM waves because visible light is theorized to be in the EM spectrum.

Can EM waves travel in a vacuum?

Yes, electromagnetic waves can travel in a vacuum because they do not require a medium for propagation. This is why light from the sun can reach Earth through the vacuum of space.


Do all EM waves transfer matter from place to place?

False. EM Waves do not transfer matter, they transfer energy.
