How can you define the term wave? Elaborate the difference between mechanical and electromagnetic waves? Give examples each?
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum, that is an empty space, whereas mechanical waves cannot. They need a medium to travel such as water or air. Ripples in a pond are an example of mechanical waves whereas electromagnetic waves include light and radio signals, which can travel through the vacuum of space.
The term wave length means the length of the wave ...it can be defined as the minimum distance between two consecutive in the same phase of wave motion ..
mechanical wave length:
they also have a frequency which is the number of waves that pass by per secound and a wave length which is the distance from one peak to another..
electromagnetive waves:
electromagnetic waves or EM waves that are created as a result of vibrations between an ele tric field and a magnetic field in other words EM waves are composed of oscillating magnetic and electric field....
