Think of electromagnetic waves (EM waves) as the friends of light! π
EM waves travel through space, carrying energy and
information! They are created when electric and magnetic fields shake hands and dance together! ππΊ The speed of EM waves in a vacuum is super-fastβabout 299,792 kilometers per second (or around 186,282 miles per second)! ππ¨ EM waves come in different types, including radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet light, X-rays, and gamma rays. Each type has unique powers and uses, like looking at stars or cooking food! ππ
