Question
what is low electromagnetic energy? what type of wave are electromagnetic waves, such as radio waves, microwaves, and infra - red waves? compression transverse
Electromagnetic waves, including radio waves, microwaves, and infra - red waves, are transverse waves. Transverse waves are characterized by oscillations that are perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. In the case of electromagnetic waves, the electric and magnetic fields oscillate perpendicular to each other and also perpendicular to the direction in which the wave is traveling. Compression waves (also known as longitudinal waves) have oscillations parallel to the direction of wave propagation (e.g., sound waves in air), which is not the case for electromagnetic waves.
