It is an "electromagnetic wave."

Electromagnetic waves are by definition is any kind of actual radiation. X-Ray, microwaves, light, radio waves, and gamma rays. It does not include those forms of matter more commonly known as radiation (alpha and beta particles), or neutrinos.

An EM wave is actually a combination of both electric and magnetic fields, perpendicular to each other and to the direction of propagation of the wave.

em wave is generated by photons which emitter the energy in the form of light


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


What does E in EM wave stand for?

EM waves stand for Electromagnetic waves.


How is the energy of an em wave determined?

The energy of an electromagnetic (EM) wave is determined by its frequency and amplitude. The higher the frequency, the higher the energy of the wave. Additionally, the amplitude of the wave also plays a role in its energy content.


What is a type of em wave?

visible light


How is a electromagnetic wave different from a EM waves?

They're the same. EM stands for electromagnetic.


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.


Why isn't sound a part of the em spectrum?

Sound is a mechanical wave, not an electromagnetic wave.


Is it possible to separate an EM wave using magnets?

No, it's not. EM wave is a single unit, and it cannot exist without ether of components (electric, magnetic).

What does the wavelength of an EM wave tell you about its energy?

The wavelength of an electromagnetic (EM) wave is inversely proportional to its energy - shorter wavelengths correspond to higher energy, and longer wavelengths correspond to lower energy. This phenomenon is described by the equation E = hν, where E is the energy of the EM wave, h is Planck's constant, and ν is the frequency of the wave.
