Solution

The difference between electromagnetic waves and electromagnetic radiation:
Electromagnetic waves
Electromagnetic radiation
1. Electromagnetic waves are those waves in which there is a sinusoidal variation of electric and magnetic field vectors at right angles, to each other as well as at right angles to the direction of wave propagation. 1. Electromagnetic radiation consists of waves of electromagnetic fields, propagating through space, carrying electromagnetic energy.
2. Electromagnetic wave is a wave model to explain the nature and behavior of emissions. 2. Electromagnetic radiation is a form of energy emitted from the source.
