An electromagnetic wave is a wave with electric component and magnetic component. In free space (vacuum), an electromagnetic wave travels with the speed of light, that is 3x10^8 m/s. In fact, light is also an electromagnetic wave.
The only kind of wave that does not require a medium to pass through is an electromagnetic wave. These waves can travel through empty space and do not need a material medium for propagation. Examples of electromagnetic waves include light waves, radio waves, and X-rays.
Because it is light, a kind of wave.
Light is an electromagnetic wave. Electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light. Electric and magnetic waves don't travel on their own - the wave travels as a combined electric and magnetic wave.
Light is an electromagnetic wave. It consists of electric and magnetic fields that oscillate perpendicular to each other and to the direction of the wave's propagation. This is in contrast to mechanical waves, like sound waves, which require a medium to travel through.
Light is an electromagnetic wave.
An ultra violet (UV) ray is an electromagnetic wave, it is the same kind as visible light wave just with a different wavelength and frequency. Both travel and the speed of light. It is a transverse wave
A sonic wave.
Light a general term for a specific range of wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum, is not strictly just a wave, it shows particle and wave like properties, hence it being able to travel in a vacuum without a medium. However as a wave light is considered to be a transverse wave.
A mechanical wave, such as a sound wave, can only travel through matter because it requires a medium to propagate. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through both matter and empty space.
No, they travel at the same speed
Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to travel through. These waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields and can travel through vacuum. Examples include light waves, radio waves, and X-rays.
The wave is called an electromagnetic wave.
I would rather say that light IS a wave, not that it HAS a wave. It is a type of electromagnetic wave.
As an electromagnetic wave.
Light travels in the form of electromagnetic waves.
Yes, light waves can travel through air because air is a medium through which electromagnetic waves can propagate. Light travels at different speeds through different mediums, but it can definitely travel through air.
