The three properties of electromagnetic waves are; they travel at the speed of light, they include ultraviolet waves, and they can transfer energy through empty space.
<h2>Further Explanation</h2><h3>A wave</h3>
A wave is a transmission of a disturbance. It involves transmission of energy from one point which is the source to another point.
Waves may be classified depending on the need for a transmission medium or based on the vibration of particles relative to the direction of wave motion.
Waves may be either transverse or longitudinal based on the direction of wave motion relative to the vibration of particles
Additionally waves may be classified as either electromagnetic wave or mechanical based on the need for a transmission medium.
<h3>Electromagnetic waves </h3>
Electromagnetic waves are types of waves that do not require a material medium for transmission.
All waves of the electromagnetic spectrum are electromagnetic transverse waves that do not require a material medium for transmission.
They include; radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultra-violet, x-rays, and gamma rays.
All waves of the electromagnetic spectrum travel with a speed of light, 3.0 x10^8 m/s.
Additionally, electromagnetic waves possess energy that is given by; E = hf; where h is the plank's constant and f is the frequency.
When the child is moving, he/she has kinetic energy. For just a brief second before they move the other way, the child is not moving, but they have gravitational potential energy.
The child may need a push from time to time because friction with the air causes loss of energy.
