Both mechanical waves and EM waves interact with a change in what?
All waves move energy, not matter. All waves are created by vibrations. Mechanical waves are caused by vibrating matter such as vocal chords or a drum. EM waves are created by vibrating electrons in atoms that propogate through the electric and magnetic fields that exist everywhere in the universe. All waves can reflect, refract. and diffract. This is where the similarities end. Both types of waves interact with matter and experience a change in velocity but do not interact with each other. Mechanical waves require matter as a medium through which to travel, they don't travel through a vacum. EM waves travel best through a vacum and lose energy as they move into more dense matter. All waves refract when they change velocity as they move from one medium into another, like air into water. Remember, there are some similarities amongst all types of waves, EM, mechanical, surface, and siesmic, but their behaviors are quite varied and complex.
What is a em wave?
An electromagnetic (EM) wave is a form of energy that is created by the vibration of electric and magnetic fields. These waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that move through space at the speed of light. EM waves include radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.
What does the e stand for in EM waves?
EM waves stand for Electromagnetic waves.
Where is wave located on the em spectrum?
Waves are a broad category on the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum that includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. They differ from each other in terms of their wavelength and frequency.
Are em waves longitudinal are transverse?
EM waves are both Transverse and Longitudinal.
Do all EM waves transfer matter from place to place?
False. EM Waves do not transfer matter, they transfer energy.

Are all electromagnetic waves invisible?
Yes. EM Waves are not visible to the human eye
Can both electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves move throgh space?
Yes, but mechanical waves need matter to travel through. EM waves can travel through vacuums as well.
What does E in EM wave stand for?
EM waves stand for Electromagnetic waves.

EM waves include radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.
What types of waves are found in electromagnetic spectrum for studying the universe?
The waves are called "electromagnetic waves". All types of EM waves can be used to study the Universe.
What does the e stand for in EM waves?
EM waves stand for Electromagnetic waves.
Where is wave located on the em spectrum?
Waves are a broad category on the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum that includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. They differ from each other in terms of their wavelength and frequency.
Which EM waves have the longest wavelenghts?
Radio waves
Are em waves longitudinal are transverse?
EM waves are both Transverse and Longitudinal.
What are the types of waves in the electromagnetic spectrum?
The types of waves in the electromagnetic spectrum include radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet light, X-rays, and gamma rays. These waves differ in their frequencies and wavelengths, with radio waves having the longest wavelength and lowest frequency, while gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency.
