Electromagnetic waves - Education and Transformation

At electromagnetic waves are those that result from the release of electricity and magnetic together.

When very fast, like the speed of light, the resulting energy is manifested in the form of waves, which form the electromagnetic waves.

Types

At electromagnetic waves they act longitudinally, that is, they are directed according to the vibration. There are 7 types of electromagnetic waves:

1. radio waves
2. microwave
3. Infra-red
4. visible light
5. Ultraviolet
6. X ray
7. Gamma

The classification of these waves depends on the frequency, oscillation and length of the emitted waves. The higher the frequency, the shorter the gravitational wavelength. Waves are measured by the electromagnetic spectrum.

In the ranges of this mechanism it is possible to see the destruction of the intensity of the electromagnetism:

• radio waves – they are at the other end of the spectrum. They are longer and so are the shortest.
• microwave – the frequencies of this wave are quite low.
• Infra-red – is next to visible light and this infrared radiation can only be seen with specific equipment.
• visible light – is at the center of the electromagnetic spectrum.
• Ultraviolet rays – is also next to the visible light.
• Gamma – is at one end of the electromagnetic spectrum. This frequency is higher and its length is short.
• X ray – is next to the gamma rays and invisible to the naked eye.

Where are?

At magnetic waves they manifest themselves at all times in a vacuum. Because everything that exists has electromagnetism. THE energy Electricity comes from the agitation of atoms that are throughout existing bodies.

And the magnetism comes from this electrical charge which results in electromagnetic waves.

Many electronic devices come from electromagnetic waves such as: television, cell phone, microwave, remote control, wi-fi (wireless internet), radio, bluetooth and others.

mechanical waves

At electromagnetic waves they do not need a material conductor to propagate while mechanical waves do.

An example is the wired telephone. The wire is the conductor where the energy it needs to function will be transported.

Class Video - Introduction

in this class of Physics about electromagnetic waves we show that this type of wave is formed by the self-induction of electric field and magnetic field that propagate perpendicularly, with the speed of light.
