Why does an object move when water is moving?
Mechanical waves (e.g. water waves, sound waves, seismic waves) cause objects to move because the waves themselves are mechanical motion of objects. Electromagnetic waves usually do not move large visible objects, but move electrons, atoms, and molecules because they respond to the moving electric field of the wave. This can cause electric currents in the object or heating of the object.
How does a waves energy move?
Mechanical waves, such as water and sound, convey energy via physical displacement of the medium, which creates and move potential energy along the direction of propagation. Electromagnetic waves convey energy directly in the coupled electric and magnetic wave itself.
How much faster are electromagnetic wave than sound waves?
Electromagnetic waves in vacuum move about 881 thousand timesas fast as sound in sea-level air.
How do you know the speed of an electromagnetic wave in a vacuum?
The speed of electromagnetic waves in a vacuum is the same as the speed of light (which is, in itself an electromagnetic wave). It can be measured by finding the frequency and wavelength of two different waves, and then by that correlation, the speed of the waveform.
Do electromagnetic waves move in a vacuum?
yes, at 'c' the speed of light in a vacuum.
What waves move the fastest?
Electromagnetic waves.

What waves do not need matter to move?
Electromagnetic waves propagate (move) with their own energy.
Name one kind of wave that does not require a medium?
An electromagnetic wave (this includes light) does not require a physical medium - it can travel through empty space.An electromagnetic wave (this includes light) does not require a physical medium - it can travel through empty space.An electromagnetic wave (this includes light) does not require a physical medium - it can travel through empty space.An electromagnetic wave (this includes light) does not require a physical medium - it can travel through empty space.
What do waves carry as they move?
mechanical waves carry mechanical energy and electromagnetic waves carry electromagnetic energy.
What can move at the speed of light?
Light, and any other electromagnetic wave. Also, gravitational waves.
Do micro waves move faster than the radio waves?
Microwaves ARE radio waves, and they move with the same speed as all other electromagnetic waves.
What kind of energy can travel in waves and can move through empty spaces?
Electromagnetic.

How electromagnetic waves get their name?
by electric and magnetic to move each other
What happens as waves travel an objects move in their path?
The waves will be bent or reflected.
