Electromagnetic radiation refers to the waves of the electromagnetic field, propagating through space, carrying electromagnetic radiant energy. It includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.
Properties:
- They can travel through empty space. Waves other than electromagnetic waves have to travel through some substance. For example, sound waves will need either a solid, liquid or gas to pass through.
- The speed of light which is 2.99792458 x 108 m/s is always constant.
- Wavelength is commonly characterized by the symbol ‘λ’. It is the measure between the distance of either troughs or crests.
