SCIENCE 10

Result of vibration of electric and magnetic field Electromagnetic Wave


EM wave is produced by? A charge that changes direction/speed
EM wave is considered as ___ waves Transverse
They carry _____ as they travel Energy
What is the speed of EM wave? 3x10^8m/s
It is denoted as c Speed of light
A change in Magnetic field produces? Electrical field; and vice versa
T or F: EM wave requires any medium to travel FALSE
T or F: Light can also be described as wave TRUE
T or F: They propogate at 300,000,000 meters TRUE
KEEP IN MIND: Accelerating and oscillating means that the speed changed; going faster/slower = EM wave
