What else can I help you with?
Can electromagnetic waves can behave like what type of particles?
Electromagnetic waves can behave like particles known as photons. Photons are the quanta of light and exhibit both particle-like and wave-like properties.
How do electromagnetic waves behave?
Electromagnetic waves are energy propagated through space in the form of oscillating electric and magnetic fields. They exhibit properties of both a wave and a particle. They travel at the speed of light, can travel through a vacuum, and can be reflected, refracted, diffracted, absorbed, and polarized.
Is light a particle or a wave?
Light exhibits properties of both particles and waves, known as wave-particle duality. It can behave as a particle called a photon and as a wave with characteristics like frequency and wavelength.
When light travels it can behave like waves and like?
particles, called photons. This dual nature is known as the wave-particle duality of light.
What is the energy carried by electromagnetic waves?
The energy carried by electromagnetic waves is called electromagnetic energy.

Electromagnetic radiation behaves like a particle when it?
Light can behave as a particle and a wave at the same time. An example of light acting as both a particle and a wave is the digital camera---the lens refracts (bends and focuses) waves of light that hit a charge-coupled device (CCD). The photons kick electrons out of the silicon in the CCD. The electrons are detected by electronics that interpret the number of electrons released and their position of release from the silicon to create an image. Another example is when you observe the build-up of the alternating light and dark pattern from diffraction (a wave phenomenon) from light passing through a narrow slit. You see one bright spot (a photon), then another bright spot (another photon), then another... until the diffraction pattern is created from all of the accumulated photons. This happens so quickly that it is undetectable to the human eye.

Energy that is transferred by electromagnetic waves is called electromagnetic what?
Energy transferred by electromagnetic waves is called radiation.
How are light waves different than other waves?
Light waves are waves but behave like a particle. They are also mass less.
Theory of electromagnetic radiation?
James Clerk Maxwell came up with the Theory of Electromagnetic Radiation.He stated that, "When electrically charged particle moves under acceleration, alternating electrical and magnetic fields are produced and transmitted in the forms of waves called electromagnetic waves or electromagnetic radiation."This is the Theory of Electromagnetic Radiation.
When light travels it can behave like waves and like?
particles, called photons. This dual nature is known as the wave-particle duality of light.
What is the energy carried by electromagnetic waves?
The energy carried by electromagnetic waves is called electromagnetic energy.
Waves made by vibrating charges that can travEl without a medium are called?
Electromagnetic waves.
What is different between electromagnetic and matter waves?
Electromagnetic waves are very much different from the matter waves and in many ways. a) Speed of matter waves is very much less than the speed of electromagnetic waves. b) Matter waves cannot be radiated in empty space unlike electromagnetic waves. c) Matter waves are just associated with the particle, not emitted by it Matter waves have smaller wave lengths than electromagnetic waves
Electromagnetic waves that can travel though the vacuum of space is called what?
That would be electromagnetic waves.
