WHAT ARE electromagnetic waves?
AI GENERATED RESPONSE FROM BRAVE SEARCH ENGINE:
Electromagnetic waves are self-propagating transverse waves composed of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that are perpendicular to each other and to the direction of wave propagation. They are generated by accelerated electric charges and can travel through a vacuum at the speed of light (300 million meters per second), requiring no physical medium.
Fundamentally, these waves exhibit wave-particle duality, behaving as both continuous waves and discrete packets of energy called photons.
The electromagnetic spectrum categorizes these waves by frequency and wavelength,
ranging from long-wavelength radio waves and microwaves
to high-energy X-rays and gamma rays,
with visible light occupying the narrow band detectable by the human eye.
