Electromagnetic wave, actually. That means that changes in both electric and magnetic fields propagate as a wave.

Does electromagnetic energy transfer to light energy?

Yes, electromagnetic energy can be transformed into light energy. Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation within a specific range of the electromagnetic spectrum. When an object absorbs electromagnetic energy, it can emit light as a result of this energy conversion.


What kind of wave does light have?

I would rather say that light IS a wave, not that it HAS a wave. It is a type of electromagnetic wave.


What is a photodector?

I think you mean photodetector. It is is a sensor of light or other electromagnetic energy.


Is the light wave electromagnetic or no?

The light wave is electromagnetic yes.


Is light an electromagnetic wave?

Yes, light is an electromagnetic wave.


What type of wave is a light wave an example of?

Light is an example of a electromagnetic wave.


Is visible light electromagnetic?

Yes. visible light is in the electromagnetic spectrum.


What is relation between light and electromagnetic waves?

Light is an electromagnetic wave.


Are light waves electromagnet waves?

Usually when one says light waves, one is referring to Visible light. Any light wave, and hence visible light, is an electromagnetic wave. As an electromagnetic wave, it is also a transverse wave. The oscillating electric and magnetic fields of an electromagnetic wave in free space are oscillating with a direction perpendicular yo the direction of movement of the wave. The velocity of an electromagnetic wave is the sped of light. This is a sensible things since light is an electromagnetic wave. In a vacuum all electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed. In matter, if the matter allows an electromagnetic wave to propagate, the speed is slower than the speed of light and in optics we say the speed is reduce by the index of refraction, v=c/n. Electromagnetic waves, like all waves, have velocity, wavelength, frequency, amplitude and phase. As with all transverse waves, electromagnetic waves can be polarized, or we say, have a polarization. Electromagnetic waves have electric and magnetic fields that are sinusoidal in space and time. These electromagnetic fields satisfy Maxwell's equations, i.e. the fundamental laws of electromagnetism. There is a quantum version of electromagnetic theory called electrodynamics and that theory is the necessary edification of Maxwell's equations to describe the quantum nature of light. Thus, even when we are discussing light as photons, it is correct to say light is an electromagnetic wave as such is manifested within quantum electrodynamics.

True. Light energy is electromagnetic radiation that is invisible to the naked eye.


What is energy from light called?

Energy from light is called electromagnetic energy, or more specifically, radiant energy. This type of energy is carried by electromagnetic waves, such as visible light, infrared radiation, ultraviolet light, and other forms of electromagnetic radiation.
