What does the e stand for in EM waves?
EM waves stand for Electromagnetic waves.
Are em waves longitudinal are transverse?
EM waves are both Transverse and Longitudinal.
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.
Where do mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves travel fastest?
Mechanical waves, such as sound waves, travel fastest in solids because the particles are closer together and can transmit vibrations more quickly. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, travel fastest in a vacuum, where there are no particles to slow them down.
What is the speed of EM waves in vacuum?
The speed of electromagnetic waves in a vacuum is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second (or about 186,282 miles per second), which is denoted by the symbol 'c'. This speed is constant and represents the fastest speed at which energy or information can travel in the universe.
Which seismic wave travels the slowest?
Surface waves, Secondary waves, Primary waves :) I had this as a science question in school a few weeks ago... hope this helps :) Oh whoops i didnt log in so i did it again.... :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
Which seismic waves travel the fastest?
Primary waves (P-waves) are the fastest seismic waves and are the first to be detected after an earthquake. They are able to travel through solid rock, liquid, and gas, making them the fastest seismic waves.
What does E in EM wave stand for?
EM waves stand for Electromagnetic waves.
Are surface waves the fastest seismic waves?
No, they are in fact the slowest! The fastest seismic waves are P-waves.
What earthquakes waves are the fastest?
P or Primary waves are the fastest earthquake or seismic waves.
What is the speed of radio and mocro waves?
Both being em wave they have the same velocity. And its value in vacuum is nearly 3 x 108 m/s
What does the e stand for in EM waves?
EM waves stand for Electromagnetic waves.
At what velocity do P-waves travel?
Typical values for P-wave velocities within the Earth are between 5 and 8 km/s.However the velocity is dependent on the elastic properties and density of the material through which the wave is travelling.The P-Wave velocity (VP) can be found using the following:VP = Sqrt((K+ (4/3 x G)) /P)Where:K = Bulk modulusG = Shear modulusP = DensityPlease see the related links for more information.
What is the speed of blue colour light in vacuum?
blue light is an ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE.ALL THE EM WAVES HAVE THE VELOCITY 3*10^8M/S IN VACUUM.Hence the blue also..
Which EM waves have the longest wavelenghts?
Radio waves
Are em waves longitudinal are transverse?
EM waves are both Transverse and Longitudinal.
Compared to the velocity of radio waves the velocity of visible light waves is?
The velocity of visible light waves is the same as the velocity of radio waves in a vacuum, both traveling at the speed of light (approximately 299,792 kilometers per second).
