Found that electric and magnetic energy move in waves.?

Who is the person associated with this statement? Found that electric and magnetic energy move in waves. James clerk maxwell


Do electric and magnetic fields make up electromagnetic waves?

Yes, both electric and magnetic fields make up electromagnetic waves. We know that electromagnetic waves (like light) have both an electric and a magnetic component. Both of these components are waves, and they move (propagate) at right angles to each other, and in phase.


How does the non-mechanical waves move through the space?

Non-mechanical waves(radio waves) which are sent into space are nothing but electromagnetic waves similar to light waves.Unlike sound waves or water ripples(waves) which require a medium to propagate in,electromagnetic waves are self-sustaining waves.We know that a moving charge causes a magnetic field and a moving magnetic field induces an electric field.Since an electromagnetic wave comprises of both electric waves and magnetic waves which are caused by each other,therefore they dont require a medium for propagation.


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.


Why are some waves called electromagnetic?

Waves that are called electromagnetic are labeled as such because they are oscillations between electric and magnetic fields. Radio waves, visible light, and X-rays are examples of these types of waves.

How electromagnetic waves get their name?

by electric and magnetic to move each other

What are the directions of surface waves?

Typically, the directions are confined to the surface -- an xy surface, would have waves that move: v = ax + by.


The strength of electric and magnetic fields remains constant as you move away from the source of the electric and magnetic fields?

yes


Do iron filings create waves when attracted by a magnet?

Magnetic waves are used to move the iron but the iron does not give off magnetic waves until it is touching the magnet

What provides electromagnetic waves?

In atoms, when they are affected by energy, the electrons will get excited and move up to a higher energy state. When they relaxe and move back down, the extra energy gets shot out as an electro magnetic wave (photon, or light)


When waves hit you whch way do you move?

you dont move beause all waves are too light or they are all coming at different directions
