The type of wave of a light wave is a transverse wave, like waves at the beach (surface waves). Transverse simply means that the motion of the wave is perpendicular to the direction of the wave. Simply put, if you're floating on the water, and a wave comes to you, the wave lifts you up, and then you drop back down as the wave passes. You are moving at a right angle to the direction that the wave is moving. This is why Surfing is difficult, because you're trying to get it to push you, rather than simply lift you.
Sound waves are longitudinal waves; they push particles in the same direction that they are moving in. Pressure waves from explosions are also longitudinal waves.
What else can I help you with?
What kind of electromagnetic waves does the sun have?
What kind of electromagnetic waves does the sun have?
What waves have the most light waves?
Light wave is an electromagnetic wave, so light waves are a kind of wave. I don't understand what you mean by what waves have the most light waves. It's not possible to emit a combination of different kinds of waves (such mechanical, EM wave, sound wave) from a single source.
What kind of path does light waves travel?
Light waves travel in straight lines unless they encounter a medium density change or are reflected or refracted by a surface. This results in bending or scattering of the light waves along their path.
What kind of waves does light energy travel?
Light energy travels in the form of electromagnetic waves. These waves are composed of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that propagate through space. The wavelength of light determines its color, and the frequency determines its energy.
What is are the only kind of energy waves you can see?
"Visible" light is the only kind of electromagneticenergy waves you can see. But it's notthe only kind of energy wave you can see.You can certainly see ocean waves in the water, seismic waves in the land, standing waveson a guitar string, and traveling waves running up and down a long guy-wire.
Moving light waves are called what kind of waves?
Electromagnetic waves. Otherwise known as light radiation.
What are ways to transmit data in space?
Basically, some kind of electromagnetic radiation is used: radio waves, light, etc.Basically, some kind of electromagnetic radiation is used: radio waves, light, etc.Basically, some kind of electromagnetic radiation is used: radio waves, light, etc.Basically, some kind of electromagnetic radiation is used: radio waves, light, etc.
What kind of waves do x rays have?
Electromagnetic waves (same as visible light).
What kind of waves produce light?
Light has the property of being an electromagnetic wave.
Does light energy move by elecromagnetic waves?
Light is a kind of electromagnetic wave.
What are the kind of EM waves?
radio waves, microwaves, infared, visible light, UV light, x rays, gamma rays
What kind of energy do you need in order to see?
light waves
What kind of electromagnetic waves does the sun have?
What kind of electromagnetic waves does the sun have?
What kind of waves are microwaves?
Electromagnetic waves, just like light, but with different frequency and wavelength.
What waves have the most light waves?
Light wave is an electromagnetic wave, so light waves are a kind of wave. I don't understand what you mean by what waves have the most light waves. It's not possible to emit a combination of different kinds of waves (such mechanical, EM wave, sound wave) from a single source.
What are two things that are the same about all light waves?
All light waves behave in two ways, simultaneously. Light of any kind acts as both a wave and a ray.
What kind of path does light waves travel?
Light waves travel in straight lines unless they encounter a medium density change or are reflected or refracted by a surface. This results in bending or scattering of the light waves along their path.
