No difference at all. Radio waves are one of many types of electromagnetic waves.
What else can I help you with?
Is visible light a form of electromagnetic radiation?
Yes. Radio waves, microwaves, visible light, and x rays are all examples of electromagnetic waves.
The only type of electromagnetic radiation we can see is?
Visible-- waves are the only electromagnetic waves we can see.
Where on the spectrum of electromagnetic waves does alpha radiation fit in?
Alpha radiation is not electromagnetic. It's a stream of helium nuclei.
What is made up of electromagnetic radiation?
Electromagnetic radiation is made up of electric and magnetic fields oscillating together in the form of waves. These waves can vary in frequency and wavelength, giving rise to different types of electromagnetic radiation such as radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays.
Does electromagnetic radiation include only visible light waves?
Not exactly. Actually, no. Photons are chunks of electromagnetic waves. As such, they do not produce EM waves, they ARE those waves. A photon inter-acting with some other particle could result in other photons -- ie, a different kind of EM wave -- being created.
What determines the difference between types of electromagnetic radiation?
The difference between types of electromagnetic radiation, such as radio waves, visible light, or X-rays, is determined by their frequency and wavelength. Electromagnetic radiation with higher frequency and shorter wavelength has more energy and is more harmful to biological tissues. The electromagnetic spectrum encompasses all these types of radiation.
What is the difference between red radiation and infra red radiation?
Both are electromagnetic waves. The frequency is different, therefore, also the energy and the wavelength are different. Red is part of the visible spectrum - the range of electromagnetic waves we can see. Infrared is invisible for our eyes.
What carries electromagnetic radiation?
Electromagnetic radiation is carried by electromagnetic waves.
How are electromagnetic waves transfered?
Electromagnetic waves are transferred by electromagnetic radiation.
How are waves transferred?
Electromagnetic waves are transferred by electromagnetic radiation.
What is transferred by electromagnet waves?
Electromagnetic radiation is transferred by electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic radiation is a fundamental phenomenon of electromagnetism.
What is the main difference between mechanical and electromagnetic waves on Jiskha?
The main difference between mechanical and electromagnetic waves is how they travel. Mechanical waves require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate, while electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum.
What are the Electromagnetic waves between radio waves and visible light in frequency?
Terahertz and infrared radiation.
What is the difference between nuclear radiation and electromagnetic radiation?
Nuclear radiation comes from the nucleus of an atom and includes alpha, beta, and gamma rays. Electromagnetic radiation comes from the movement of electrically charged particles and includes visible light, radio waves, and X-rays.
Can you explain the concept of electromagnetic radiation and how it differs from a wave?
Electromagnetic radiation is a form of energy that travels through space in the form of waves. It includes visible light, radio waves, microwaves, and X-rays. These waves are created by the movement of electrically charged particles. While electromagnetic radiation and waves are related, the key difference is that electromagnetic radiation refers to the energy itself, while waves refer to the physical oscillations that carry the energy.
What is the primary difference between mechanical and electromagnetic waves?
The primary difference between mechanical and electromagnetic waves is how they travel. Mechanical waves require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate, while electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum, like in space.
The transfer of energy as waves moving through space is called?
Radiation
