Light waves are classified as what waves?
Optical light waves are "Electromagnetic" waves. The colour seen is dependent on the wavelength of the light. Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves where the oscillation is 90 degrees to the direction of travel (unlike sound waves which are longitudinal).
What are five different types of waves in the electromagnetic spectrum?
Radio waves: Longest wavelength and lowest frequency, used for communication. Microwaves: Shorter than radio waves, used in cooking and communication. Infrared waves: Just beyond visible light, felt as heat, used in remote controls and thermal imaging. Visible light: The only part of the spectrum visible to humans, responsible for our sense of sight. X-rays: Higher energy waves used in medical imaging and security scanning.
Where do light waves originate?
Light waves originate from a light source, such as the sun, a light bulb, or a laser. When an object absorbs energy, it can emit photons, which are the elementary particles of light that travel as electromagnetic waves.
What waves are used in an Iris scanner?
In an iris scanner, near-infrared light waves are typically used to capture the unique pattern of the iris. These waves are able to penetrate the outer layers of the eye to create a detailed image of the iris structure, which is then used for identification purposes.
Light and sound waves have many similar properties however light waves are what while sound waves are what?
Light waves are eletromagnetic waves and sound waves are mechanical waves. Additionally, a light wave is a transverse wave that does not require a medium through which to travel. Sound waves, on the other hand, are longitudinal waves where the source transfers the mechanical energy of the sound wave into the medium so it can travel.
What types of waves are used in lights?
light waves
What are ways to transmit data in space?

How are electromagnetic waves used in a flashlight?
In a flashlight, electromagnetic waves are used to generate light. When electricity flows through the circuit, it excites the atoms in the light bulb's filament, causing them to emit light in the form of electromagnetic waves. The waves in the visible spectrum produce the light that we see when we turn on a flashlight.
What are the Four other types of transverse wave that travel at 300000000 ms?
Light waves - electromagnetic waves that can travel through a vacuum at the speed of light. Radio waves - electromagnetic waves used for communication that travel at the speed of light in a vacuum. X-rays - a high-energy form of electromagnetic radiation that can travel at the speed of light. Microwaves - electromagnetic waves commonly used in technology and cooking that can travel at the speed of light.
The intensity of light waves is a measure of what?
The intensity of light waves is a measure of the energy carried by the waves. It is proportional to the square of the amplitude of the waves. The intensity of light waves determines how bright the light appears to us.
What is the diffraction of light waves?
Diffraction of light waves is the bending of light as it passes around obstacles or through small openings. It results in the spreading of light waves and the formation of interference patterns. Diffraction is a fundamental property of waves and is used in various applications such as microscopy and spectroscopy.
What type of waves do black light use?
Blacklights use UV (Ultra Violet) rays, and there are 2 different UV rays. Short waves can be dangerous when in contact with the skin and are primarily used for germicidal operations. Long waves are used for many things and are, most of the time, used at bowling alleys.
What are examples of electricmagnetic waves?
Examples of electromagnetic waves include radio waves, microwaves, infrared light, visible light, ultraviolet light, X-rays, and gamma rays. These waves have varying frequencies and are used for different applications such as communication, heating, and medical imaging.
How are ultraviolet waves different from light waves?
Ultraviolet waves are smaller than light waves.
Are sound waves stronger than light waves?
No because light waves are stronger and brighter and sound waves are light and dull
Do all light waves emit radiation?
Light waves do not emit radiation, light waves are radiation.
What is a polarimeter most commonly used for?
Polarimetry is the measurement and interpretation of transverse waves. The most common polarimetry waves are electromagnetic waves (e.g. radio or light waves).
