Electromagnetic wave is a form of transmitted energy. Electromagnetic radiation
is so-named because it has electric and magnetic fields that simultaneously oscillate in
planes mutually perpendicular to each other and to the direction of propagation through
space.
Electromagnetic wave has the dual nature ,i.e ,it exhibits wave properties and particulate properties both.A particle on the classical view is a concentration of energy and other properties in space and time, whereas a wave is spread out over a larger region of space and time. An electromagnetic wave is supposed to have both characters.
Electromagnetic waves do not have a mass and Polarization of electromagnetic waves is possible.
Others are listed below,
E= hc/λ
(where E is the energy, h is Planck's constant, c is speed of light in vacuum and λ is wavelength)
Electromagnetic radiation has electric and magnetic fields that are perpendicular to one another.
I think you are confusing something. Sound waves, and electromagnetic waves, are two different types of waves.
False
Take your pick: water waves, sound waves, electromagnetic waves, gravitational waves.
Those two descriptions are not mutually exclusive, and in fact, electromagnetic waves do both.
Kinetic and electromagnetic energy can travel in waves.

we use electromagnetic waves in radios and cell phones
Transverse and Compressional electromagetic waves Another opinion: No electromagnetic waves are compressional waves. They're all transverse. I think what the question was looking for is: -- Heat and visible light -- Radio waves and X-rays -- Ultraviolet and gamma rays etc.
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.
There are two types of smoke detectors:Alpha particle - these do not use electromagnetic wavesPhotoelectric - these use a beam of either visible lightor near infrared electromagnetic waves
In frequency or wavelength.
