Yes
The question founders on the rocks of a chicken/egg conundrum. The presence of both an electric field and a magnetic field is required in order to produce an electromagnetic wave.
In an electromagnetic wave, the changing electric field creates a magnetic field, and the changing magnetic field in turn regenerates the electric field. This process continues as the wave propagates through space, leading to the self-sustaining nature of electromagnetic waves.
When an atom is exposed to a strong electromagnetic wave, the electric field of the wave can distort the electron cloud around the nucleus, leading to the ionization of the atom. If the electromagnetic wave is strong enough, it can overcome the attractive forces between the electron and the nucleus, causing the electron to be ejected from the atom, thus creating an ion.
This phenomenon is known as electromagnetic wave propagation, described by Maxwell's equations. An oscillating electric field induces a magnetic field, which in turn produces an oscillating electric field. This interplay allows electromagnetic waves to propagate through space without the need for a medium.
When a light wave is emitted from a flashlight or a candle, the medium that is disturbed is the electromagnetic field. Light is an electromagnetic wave that consists of oscillating electric and magnetic fields propagating through space.
No, the electric field oscillates in magnitude and direction as it propagates in the electromagnetic wave.
An electromagnetic wave, in its simplest description, is a wave that as it propagates keeps converting its magnetic field into an electric field while converting its electric field into a magnetic field.
An electromagnetic wave is caused by the vibration of electric and magnetic fields propagating through space. When an electric charge accelerates, it creates a changing electric field, which in turn generates a magnetic field. The changing magnetic field then creates a changing electric field, and this cyclical process results in the formation of an electromagnetic wave.
A vibrating electric field produces a changing magnetic field, which then generates a changing electric field and so on, creating a self-propagating wave. This wave consists of oscillating electric and magnetic fields perpendicular to each other and to the direction of wave propagation, thus exhibiting the characteristics of an electromagnetic wave.
Not a constant electric current but a changing one will generate electromagnetic waves.First: If you have a lone electron, and it is accelerated in any way, it will send off an electromagnetic wave. This is because a changing electric field generates a magnetic field.It is also true that changing magnetic field will generate an electric field. This is the reason that if you have an electric current, which is generating a magnetic field, and you change the current you generate an electromagnetic wave. To generate a continuous sinusoidal electromagnetic wave you continuously change the current sinusoidally.
they both have a Electromagnetic wave.
No, it is an electromagnetic wave containing electric field component and a magnetic field component.
We understand that electromagnetic waves have both an electric and a magnetic component. Each component is a wave, and each wave is perpendicular to the other and is in phase. perpendicular to the direction of the wave
Magnetic field
When a vibrating electric charge produces a changing electric field, it in turn generates a changing magnetic field, leading to the creation of an electromagnetic wave. This wave consists of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that propagate through space at the speed of light.
An electromagnetic wave is composed of two parts. One is the magnetic field and the other is the electric field.
No, a moving electric charge surrounded only by an electric field would not be considered an electromagnetic wave. Electromagnetic waves are a combination of electric and magnetic fields oscillating perpendicular to each other and to the direction of propagation. A moving electric charge in an electric field alone would not exhibit this characteristic.
