What kind of disturbance causes an electromagnetic wave?
Ways that Electromagnetic Waves are different than Mechanical Waves
- Electromagnetic Waves don't need a medium to travel whilst Mechanical Waves do
- Electromagnetic Waves can come in range of all frequencies, and Mechanical waves can only do this with a few certain frequencies
- Electromagnetic Waves can travel through materials and Mechanical waves cannot
- Electromagnetic Waves cannot transport energy and Mechanical waves can
Radio
Microwave Radiation
Infrared EM Waves
Visible Light
Ultra-Violet Light
X-Ray
