Electromagnetic waves are created by the movement of charged particles. These waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that propagate through space at the speed of light.

Can lead resist or absorb Electro-magnetic waves?

Lead is a good shield against electromagnetic waves due to its high density and atomic structure, which can absorb and block the waves. However, lead can also partially resist electromagnetic waves depending on their frequency and intensity.


What wave does not require a medium for energy transfer?

Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium for energy transfer. These waves can travel through a vacuum because they are made up of changing electric and magnetic fields. Examples of electromagnetic waves include light, radio waves, and X-rays.


Does electro magnetic wave is a mechanical wave?

No, electromagnetic waves are not mechanical waves. Mechanical waves require a medium through which to travel, such as air or water, while electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum. electromagnetic waves are created by oscillating electric and magnetic fields and can travel through empty space.


Why are electromagnetic waves called EM waves?

Electromagnetic waves are called EM waves because they are composed of oscillating electric and magnetic fields. These fields propagate through space, carrying energy with them. The combination of electric and magnetic fields gives rise to the term "electromagnetic."


Which distinguishes electromagntic waves from mechanical waves?

Electro magnetic waves can pass through medium of free space ie vacuum but mechanical waves cannot do so. Mechanical waves such as sound definitely needs a material medium air, water etc. But light being electro magnetic could pass through even vacuum. Actually in between the sun and earth there is vacuum. Yet we receive light right from Sun towards earth.

Advantage and disadvantage of emi?

emi in electronics is electro-magnetic interference. I do not know of any advantage as it always interferes. A high db reading of emi shielding is good. Electro-magnetic waves are present everywhere and the problem is keeping them out of our electronics as best as we can. An additional problem is that all electronics produce electro-magnetic fields.
