The seven types of electromagnetic waves, in order of increasing frequency, are radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. Each type of wave has a unique wavelength and frequency, with radio waves having the longest wavelength and lowest frequency, while gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency.

What is it called when the emmision of energy waves in the form of em waves?

The emission of energy waves in the form of electromagnetic waves is called radiation. This can include various types of electromagnetic radiation such as visible light, radio waves, microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.


Is a EM wave a sound wave?

No, electromagnetic (EM) waves are different from sound waves. EM waves are vibrations of electric and magnetic fields that do not need a medium to travel through, while sound waves are mechanical vibrations that require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate.


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.
