How does radiowaves heat up the brain?
They don't. You would need electromagnetic waves in the x-ray, gamma-ray region for this to occur. This is due to the fact that radio waves don't provide enough energy to excite the energy levels of the atoms in your brain, ie. they are transparent.
What are 3 waves of radiation that come from the sun?
Electromagnetic waves found in sunlight are light waves, ultraviolet waves and cosmic waves.
How do you know that electromagnetic wave are not compression wave?
If they were they would not travel through a vacuum because there would be nothing to compress. But they do travel through vacuums, so they can't be compression waves. More detail... The above does not exclude a medium that can exist in a vacuum For EM waves to be a compression wave, it must have some medium. For many years, the ether/aether was considered to be the medium, but the Michelson-Morley experiment failed to show any effect consistent with ether/aether, and the concept is now considered invalied. So, since the ether/aether cannot be detected, EM waves have no medium, so EM waves are not compression waves.
Why are Longitudinal waves sometimes referred to as pressure waves?
Longitudinal waves involve the compression and rarefaction of a medium in the same direction as the wave is moving. This compression and rarefaction lead to changes in pressure within the medium, giving rise to the term "pressure waves".
What is the difference Between S waves P waves?
P-waves are faster than s-waves. Both can pass through solid rock, but only p-waves can pass through gases and liquids === ===
Sound waves are examples of what?
sound waves are a example of mechanical waves
Are sound waves an example of compression waves?
Yes, sound waves are an example of compression waves. In a sound wave, the particles of the medium vibrate back and forth in the direction that the wave is traveling, causing areas of compression and rarefaction as the wave passes through.
Are longitudinal waves and compression waves the same?
Yes, longitudinal waves and compression waves are the same. Both terms refer to waves where the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of energy propagation. Sound waves in air are an example of longitudinal/compression waves.
Are surface waves compression waves?
No. surface waves on the surface of water is transverse in nature. It has crests and troughs. Compression and rarefaction will be in longitudinal wave. example sound waves.
Which is the longest wavelength?
Radiowaves have the longest wavelength of all electromagnetic waves (which also includes visible light, and for example x-rays).
What electromagnetic waves have the longest wavelengths?
Radiowaves have the longest wavelength of electromagnetic waves.
What are the 2 main type of waves?
Waves in Air give a great example: they occur in two types - compression [compressed Air] and rarefaction [expanded or decompressed Air] Waves.
What is an example of electromagnetic waves that you can see with human eyes?
Visible light. (eg sunlight).
What is a name for P waves?
Primary waves / compression waves / longitudinal waves.
What waves moves along the vibration?
Compression waves
What is an example of compressional waves?
a slinky spread out and then grab a few coils and release and watch a compressional wave! Another example is a sound wave. the particles compressed together form a compression. The particles more widely spread apart form a rarefaction.slinkySound waveCompressional waves are also called mechanical waves. Examples include the plasma waves or guided waves.
Are also known as P waves?
