How do EM waves travels?
Electromagnetic (EM) waves are self-propagating waves of electric and magnetic fields that travel through space at the speed of light. They do not require a medium to travel through, and can travel through a vacuum. EM waves are produced by the vibrations of charged particles and have both electric and magnetic components perpendicular to each other.
Are em waves longitudinal are transverse?
EM waves are both Transverse and Longitudinal.
Which phenomenon do em waves exhibit that sound waves do not?
Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum, while sound waves require a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to propagate. Additionally, electromagnetic waves can travel at the speed of light, while sound waves travel at a much slower speed.
Do em waves speed up or slow down when they travel through a medium?
EM waves typically slow down when they travel through a medium compared to their speed in a vacuum. This decrease in speed is due to interactions with the atoms and molecules in the medium, which cause the EM waves to be absorbed and re-emitted resulting in a slower overall propagation speed.
All waves need a medium to travel?
No, only surface and mechanical waves need a medium, compressional waves can travel through space. (Such as light from the Sun).I think light (EM) waves are the only ones that can travel through a vacuum. Sound waves require a medium.
Can em waves travel through vacuum?
what is in hell
What is the disturbance that travels in a water and EM waves?
The disturbance that travels in a water and EM waves is sometimes known as electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic waves have the ability to travel through a vacuum.

Is the speed of EM waves as they travel through vacuum directly proportional to the frequency.?
No. The speed is THE SAME for all frequencies of electromagnetic waves.

EM waves are both Transverse and Longitudinal.

Are microwaves in space?
yes, they are also a type of electromagnetic waves. any EM wave can travel in space as they can pass through vacuum.
Does an em wave require medium such as air or water to travel through?
No, electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to travel through. They can propagate through a vacuum, which is why light from the sun can reach the Earth through the vacuum of space.
How do em waves travel through matter with no medium?
Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to travel through space, as evidenced by their ability to propogate in a vacuum. They were originally thought to move in ether, but this has since been disproven.
Can compressional waves travel through a vacuum?
No, compressional waves require a medium to travel through, so they cannot travel through a vacuum where there is no matter. Sound waves, which are compressional waves, cannot propagate through a vacuum.
