What do electromagnetic waves transport?

An electromagnetic wave transports energy and momentum. We know it transports energy because we can collect that energy and power electronic things. read more

An electromagnetic wave transports energy and momentum. We know it transports energy because we can collect that energy and power electronic things. We know it transports momentum because we can move things just by hitting them with electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves do not have mass and do not transport charge. Momentum, but no mass. read more

They waves arecalled electromagnetic waves/radiation. There are 7 classifications of these waves. Radiowaves, microwaves,infrared, visible light, ultraviolet light, X-rays, and gamma rays.These blend into one another in a continuous spectrum. read more

Electromagnetic waves transport energy and momentum across space. The energy and momentum transported by an electromagnetic wave are not continuously distributed over the wave front. Energy and momentum are transported by photons in discrete packages. Photons are the particles of light. Light is"quantized". read more
