Electromagnetic Waves
Electromagnetic Waves An electromagnetic wave is a transverse wave that transfers electrical and magnetic energy. The electrical and magnetic fields vibrate at right angles to each other.
Electromagnetic Waves A medium is not needed. Ex. waves travel through vacuum. Disturbance of electric and magnetic fields traveling through space. All electromagnetic waves are transverse waves. X-rays, radio waves, and microwaves examples
Electromagnetic Radiation Electromagnetic Radiation- energy that is transferred through space by electromagnetic waves Electromagnetic waves travel through space at 300,000 kilometers per second. So light from the sun takes 8 minutes to travel 150 million kilometers to Earth. Photon- particle of light
