How are they formed Kind of Wave Sometimes behave as


radio waves- it is formed Radio is a transverse wave Sometimes radio waves
by acceleration and behave as particles.
deceleration of charged
particles through
conducting wires.

Microwaves- this is Microwaves are transverse Microwaves most of the time


formed by deploying high waves behave as waves
voltage and with charges
moving, it creates
oscillation.

Infrared waves are formed Infrared waves are transverse Sometimes infrared waves
from heat behave as particles.

Optical waves are formed Optical waves are transverse Optical waves most of the
from a high frequency of time behave as waves
two fields, electrical and
magnetic fields

Ultraviolet waves are Ultraviolet waves are Ultraviolet waves most of the
formed from high heat transverse time behave as waves
