Where do most of the visible electromagnetic waves on earth come from?

Most of the visible electromagnetic waves on Earth come from the Sun. Sunlight is a combination of different wavelengths of light, with the visible spectrum being one of them. When sunlight reaches Earth's atmosphere, it scatters and illuminates our planet, making objects visible to our eyes.


What are three electromagnetic waves that makes up most of the energy that Earth receives from the sun?

The three electromagnetic waves that make up most of the energy that Earth receives from the sun are infrared radiation, visible light, and ultraviolet radiation. These waves carry different amounts of energy and play key roles in sustaining life on Earth.


How does energy reach the earth?

Energy reaches the Earth primarily through the Sun's radiation. The Sun emits energy in the form of electromagnetic waves, with most of it being in the form of visible light. This energy travels through space and reaches Earth, where it is essential for supporting life and powering various natural processes.


What are the most common types of waves found in the electromagnetic spectrum?

The most common types of waves found in the electromagnetic spectrum are radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light, ultraviolet waves, X-rays, and gamma rays.


The entire range of em waves is called the?

The total of all electromagnetic waves is called the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light waves, ultraviolet radiation, x-rays, and gamma rays. Only visible light waves, which humans see as the band of colors from red to violet, are the portion of the spectrum visible to the human eye, although many other life forms are sensitive to infrared and possibly to other segments the spectrum.

How does the sun' energy travel to the earth?

Electromagnetic radiation... i.e., light. Electromagnetic Waves A+


Most of the waves in the electromagnetic spectrum are?

Invisible. The only light is in the visible light section. lol. :)


How does the suns energy travle to earth?

Most of it travels to Earth via light, and similar electromagnetic waves.

Do electromagnetic waves play an important rules in your life?

Yes. Without electromagnetic waves, you wouldn't be able to see; more importantly, there might be no life on Earth, since most of the energy we use comes from the Sun, in the form of electromagnetic waves.


The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves?

The waves that are the most infictint are the seismic waves


How do electromagnetic waves travel through a medium?

electromagnetic waves generally don't require a medium to travel. the most commonly visible example is "light" which may be either sun's light, light from a bulb or any other source. they travel as transverse waves.


The Sun transfers most of its heat by means of?

Convection and radiation (internally) and radiation (externally).
