Electromagnetic waves

1. Properties of electromagnetic waves

1.1. Transverse waves

1.2. All transfer energy from one place to another

1.3. All the components obey laws of reflection and refraction

1.4. All components travel at the speed of 3x10^8 in vacuum

1.5. All components obey the wave equation

1.5.1. speed of waves = frequency of waves x wavelength of waves

2. Types of electromagnetic waves

2.1. Infrared waves

2.2. x-rays

2.3. gamma rays

2.4. ultra-violet rays
