Question

What are the characteristics of electromagnetic waves 10 class?

Answer 1

Hey.
Here is your answer

 

Electromagnetic waves are propagated by oscillating electric and magnetic fields oscillating at right angles to each other.

 

Electromagnetic waves travel with a constant velocity of  3 x 108 ms-1 in vacuum.

 

Electromagnetic waves are not deflected by electric or magnetic field.

 

Electromagnetic waves can show interference or diffraction.

 

Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves.

 

Electromagnetic waves may be polarized.

 

Electromagnetic waves need no medium of propagation. The energy from the sun is received by the earth through electromagnetic waves.

 

The wavelength (λ) and the frequency (v) of electromagnetic wave is related as

c = v λ = ω/k

Thanks

$\huge\tt\red{Answer\::)}$

• Electromagnetic waves can be described by means of vibrating electrical and magnetic fields which are mutually perpendicular.
• The nature of these waves is transverse.
• These waves travel with a speed equal to the speed of the light in vacuum.
