Science Waves

What is an electromagnetic wave?

• waves that are created as a result of vibrations between an electric field and a magnetic field; are a form of energy waves that have both an electric and magnetic field

• have the longest wavelengths of all the electromagnetic waves; often used to transmit data and have been used for all sorts of applications including radio, satellites, radar, and computer networks.

• are shorter than radio waves with wavelengths measured in centimeters; to cook food, transmit information, and in radar that helps to predict the weather

• Penetrating electromagnetic radiation of a kind arising from the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei; are the shortest waves in the spectrum and, as a result, have the most energy.

• An electromagnetic wave of high and very short wavelength. Which are able to pass through many materials- opaque to light; have even shorter wavelengths than ultraviolet rays. At this point in the electromagnetic spectrum, scientists begin to think of these rays more as particles than waves
