Does electromagnetic waves transfer light energy?

Physics
1 answer:
Andreas93 [3]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Electronmagnetic waves: yes

Mechanical waves: no

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consist of electric fields and magnetic fields that oscillate perpendicularly to each other, and also in a plane perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave (therefore they are called "transverse waves".

As all waves, electromagnetic waves transport energy (but not matter). In particular, the type of energy transferred by electromagnetic waves is in the form of radiation, also called light energy.

Conversely, mechanical waves consist of oscillations of the particles in a medium. Mechanical waves also carries energy (but not matter), but not in the form of radiation (light energy): in fact, the energy is carried as vibrations of the particles in the medium, so it is a different type of energy.

Why does increasing the number of trials increase confidence in the results of the experiment?
Paladinen [302]
It increases confidence because the more times you conduct the same experiment over and over should either prove your hypothesis right and wrong and eliminate any random occurrences that might affect your results.

A wave will go faster through a liquid at ____________ temperatures
cupoosta [38]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Higher temperatures

A wave will go faster through a liquid at <em><u>highe</u></em><u>r </u>temperatures

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Mechanical waves are types of waves that require a material medium for transmission.</u></em> An example of mechanical wave is the sound wave whose transmission occurs in medium such as solids, liquids and gases.  
  • <em><u>The transmission of mechanical waves involves vibration of particles through the medium of transmission, thus transfer of energy from one point to another. </u></em>The vibration of particle may be in the form of a longitudinal wave or a transverse wave.  
  • <em><u>Increasing the temperature in a medium increases the kinetic energy of the particles in the medium and thus increasing the speed at which the particles vibrates and thus aiding a faster transmission of a wave.</u></em>

What is conduction?explain? ​
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Thermal conduction is the transfer of internal energy by microscopic collisions of particles and movement of electrons within a body. The colliding particles, which include molecules, atoms and electrons, transfer disorganized microscopic kinetic and potential energy, when joined known as internal energy.
