Q. What is the electromagnetic spectrum and how is it described?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the concept of electromagnetic waves and the electromagnetic spectrum, including their properties, frequency, wavelength, production, and applications. Participants also address whether the questions posed are related to homework.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related, Meta-discussion

Main Points Raised

  • One participant asks about the properties of electromagnetic waves and requests a description of the electromagnetic spectrum from gamma rays to radio waves.
  • Another participant questions whether the initial inquiries are homework problems.
  • Some participants express skepticism regarding the original poster's claim of being unable to find answers, suggesting that a simple search could yield useful information.
  • There is a suggestion that the effort to post the questions may be less than the effort required to search for the answers independently.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that the questions appear to be related to homework, but there is no consensus on the appropriateness of the original poster's approach to finding answers.

Contextual Notes

Some assumptions about the original poster's efforts to find information are made, and there is an implied expectation that basic research should have been conducted prior to posting.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals interested in the fundamentals of electromagnetic waves and the electromagnetic spectrum, as well as those exploring homework-related discussions in physics.

Hi... I m unable to find the answer for these questions...

Q. What are electromagnetic waves? State its properties.
Q. What is electromagnetic spectrum? Describe complete em spectrum from gamma rays to radiowaves in terms of frequency,wavelength,production, atleast 2 properties each,applications,etc.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Welcome to Physics Forums. Are these homework problems?
 
Unable to find? I find that hard to believe. What did you try, search-wise? I pasted "electromagnetic waves" into Wikipedia and into Google search and got useful results. No problem.
 
Haha this is obviously homework
they can't even be bothered to google it let alone open their textbook
 
I would have thought that googling 2 words would be easier than typing the post.
