Can an electromagnetic wave lose or gain energy to change into a different type of magnetic wave For example can a microwave become a radio wave through a loss of energy?

Usually not. If part of a wave of a certain frequency gets absorbed, the remaining wave will still have the same frequency - and the same energy per photon.In special circumstances, due to the Doppler effect, loss of energy in a gravitational field, or to the cosmological redshift, waves can indeed lose energy in the way you describe in the question.

Why is a vibrating electric field an example of an electromagnetic wave?
The changing electric field will produce a magnetic field; the changing magnetic field will cause an electric field; both will propagate as a wave - an electro-magnetic wave.
What are examples of electromagnetic force?
The simplest and effective example is the current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field.whose applications are motor,generator etc
What is non mechanical wave?
Non mechanical waves are Eletro magnetic waves. We can devide 2 waves. 1 is mechanical waves & 2 is electromagnetic waves. For example Sound is a mechanical wave & Light is an electromagnetic wave.
Is cooking food using a microwave oven an example of radiation?
Yes, since the oven heats food by irradiating it with microwaves. Microwaves are an example of electromagnetic radiation, having a frequency lower than that of visible light.
How Does the EM radiation plays significant roles in our life and why?
For example:* We use visible light to see * We use microwave radiation in a microwave oven * We use various types of electromagnetic waves for communication * The Sun's energy comes to us, mainly via EM radiation.
Is a microwave oven an example of electromagnetic energy?
Yes
Example of electrical energy to electromagnetic?
a microwave or a x-ray. Because when the microwave for example is plugged in or turned on is electrical energy and when the food is being cooked is when electromagnetic energy is used. Hope I Could Help :]
What is an example of electromagnetic energy in the kitchen?
All types of radio waves are electromagnetic energy, and that includes microwaves from the microwave oven.
Is heat transferred from a microwave to the food is a example of conduction?
No. It is an example of radiation. The heat is transferred by microwaves, which are a form of electromagnetic radiation. Conduction occurs when two objects of different temperatures are in contact or when different parts of an object have different temperatures.
Is a microwave an example of nuclear energy?
The energy from a microwave oven is taken from an electric outlet. The electricity that reaches your home may come from different sources, including nuclear power plants but also other types of power plants; the microwave oven won't notice the difference.
What are electromagnetic oscillators?
when a charge oscillates for example in a capacitor it produce an electric field; which in turns produce a magnetic field in an inductance. the magnetic field oscillates perpendicular to the electric field and an electromagnetic waves perpendicular to both is produced.
Why is a vibrating electric field an example of an electromagnetic wave?
The changing electric field will produce a magnetic field; the changing magnetic field will cause an electric field; both will propagate as a wave - an electro-magnetic wave.
Is anything that has a magnetic field a magnet?
no. For example if u have a straight wire with a current running through it there will still be an electromagnetic field but it will not be magnetic. If u coil it around a magnetic object such as a nail for example u will get a magnetic field as the charge moves from the north to south around the object and back to the north through the object.

Can you give Example for microwave devices?
microwave oven is one the example of microwave.
What are examples of electromagnetic force?
The simplest and effective example is the current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field.whose applications are motor,generator etc
What are some example of transverse waves?
Examples of transverse waves include seismic S (secondary) waves, and the motion of the electric (E) and magnetic (M) fields in an electromagnetic plane wave, which both oscillate perpendicularly to each other as well as to the direction of energy transfer. Therefore an electromagnetic wave consists of two transverse waves, visible light being an example of an electromagnetic wave. See electromagnetic spectrum for information on different types of electromagnetic waves. An oscillating string is another example of a transverse wave; a more everyday example would be an audience wave. Some examples of transverse waves include Atomic, Chemical, Heat, Electrical, Light, and Mechanical energy.
