The Concept of Electromagnetic Waves
Unlike mechanical waves, electromagnetic waves are waves that require no material medium for propagation. Thus, they can propagate through a vacuum or free space.
The human eye can only see light of which the wavelength lies between 3.8 ×10– 7m and 7.2 ×10– 7m. Other examples of electromagnetic radiation differ from visible light only in wavelength and in the ways of producing them. However, they all have the same velocity of value 3.0 ×108m/s.
EVALUATION
