What else can I help you with?
Is sound a type of electromagnetic wave?
No, sound is not a type of electromagnetic wave. Sound is actually a mechanical wave that requires a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel through, while electromagnetic waves like light do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
Is sound an example of an electromagnetic wave?
No. Sound is a longitudinal wave consisting of mechanical vibrations travelling through matter (solid , liquid, gas, etc). An electromagnetic wave (light) is, classically, a transversely oscillating electric and magnetic field and requires no medium in order to travel.
How is the frequency of an ME wave related to its energy?
The frequency of an electromagnetic (EM) wave is directly proportional to its energy. This means that as the frequency of the EM wave increases, so does its energy. Conversely, a decrease in frequency leads to a decrease in energy of the EM wave.
Is a sound wave a longitudinal wave?
Yes, a sound wave is a longitudinal wave.
Is a sound wave a transverse wave?
Yes, a sound wave is a longitudinal wave, not a transverse wave.
Why isn't sound a part of the em spectrum?
Sound is a mechanical wave, not an electromagnetic wave.
Is sound a type of electromagnetic wave?
No, sound is not a type of electromagnetic wave. Sound is actually a mechanical wave that requires a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel through, while electromagnetic waves like light do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
How is sound wave different from an EM wave?
A sound wave is a succession of air molecule compression and rarefaction. So the air molecules 'vibrate' between periods of being closer together (compression) and farther apart (rarefaction). When they bounce off of your eardrum, you hear them provided the frequency and intensity are adequate. An EM wave is quite different. To be honest, you'll have to check out the wikipedia page! http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_radiation It will propagate in a vacuum, whereas a sound wave requires a medium to travel through (like air, water..... the kitchen table.) Light is an EM wave.
Is sound an example of an electromagnetic wave?
No. Sound is a longitudinal wave consisting of mechanical vibrations travelling through matter (solid , liquid, gas, etc). An electromagnetic wave (light) is, classically, a transversely oscillating electric and magnetic field and requires no medium in order to travel.
When you squeeze together the coils of a spring and release them what type of wave are you creating?
longitudinal. this is like a sound/pressure wave or how automotive traffic flows. the other type of wave is a transverse wave which describes propagation of EM radiation.
How em wave are generated from photon?
em wave is generated by photons which emitter the energy in the form of light
Is a sound wave a transverse wave?
No, a sound wave is a compressional wave.
How is the frequency of an ME wave related to its energy?
The frequency of an electromagnetic (EM) wave is directly proportional to its energy. This means that as the frequency of the EM wave increases, so does its energy. Conversely, a decrease in frequency leads to a decrease in energy of the EM wave.
What kind of EM wave has the lowest energy?
radio wave
Is a sound wave a electromaginic wave?
No. A sound wave is a pressure wave.
Is a compression wave a sound wave?
yes a sound wave is a Compressional wave
Is a sound wave a longitudinal wave?
Yes, a sound wave is a longitudinal wave.
