Electromagnetic radiation is energy that travels in waves. Some examples of electromagnetic radiation are visible light, radio waves, and x-rays. Which statement is true for all forms of electromagnetic radiation?

Respuesta :

Answer:

They all travel with the speed of light.

Note: No options were provided in the question.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic radiation are a group of waves which are are produced by the vibrations of electromagnetic fields. Electromagnetic waves/radiation possess the ability to travel through vacuum (i.e. they do not require a material medium for their propagation) while also carrying radiant energy. Electromagnetic fields which are the sources of electromagnetic radiation, exist as a result of the combination and interaction of travelling electric and magnetic field forces.

Electromagnetic radiations consists of the following waves: radio waves, infrared waves, visible light, ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and gamma rays. These waves have differing and unique properties such as wavelength, frequencies, ionizing properties, penetrating ability, sources as well as well as uses. However, they have a common property of velocity- they travel with the speed of light, 3.0 * 10⁸ m/s.

In addition to having the same velocity, all electromagnetic radiation exhibit interference and diffraction.
