Question

What is the transmission of a wave?

Answer 1

There are two types of waves:

1. Mechanical waves: A mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium.
2. Example: Sound waves.
3. Electromagnetic wave: Electromagnetic radiation consists of waves of the electromagnetic field, propagating through space, carrying electromagnetic radiant energy.
4. It includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. All of these waves form part of the electromagnetic spectrum

Transmission of a wave:

1. Transmission of the wave is the process of movement of wave points with respect to time.
2. Mechanical wave required medium for transmission.
3. Electromagnetic waves can transmit even in a vacuum.
