What are electromagnetic waves?


Light, microwaves, x-rays, and TV and radio transmissions are all
kinds of electromagnetic waves. They are all the same kind of wavy
disturbance that repeats itself over a distance called
the wavelength.

How electromagnetic waves works?
Are formed any time an electric field combines with a
magnetic field. The electromagnetic waves have different
lengths and work in different ways. Your television, microwave
and radio all operate using these waves, but they all vary in
length

Some examples of electromagnetic waves are:
Electromagnetic waves are energy, such as light, heat,
microwaves, X rays, gamma rays, ultraviolet rays, and radio
