Energy transfer carried by electromagnetic waves is transferred through the interaction of particles. Thermal energy is transferred through the collision of particles in matter, while electromagnetic energy is transferred via the exchange of photons. read more
The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves is called electromagnetic radiation. Light, radio waves and X-rays are a few other examples of this radiation phenomenon. The Transfer process is the "flow" of particles from one location to another. The best visual example is the transfer of "heat" from one source to another. read more
The synchronized oscillations of electromagnetic waves travel and carry energy at the speed of light. While electromagnetic waves do not have mass, they still experience the effects of gravity. The crests and troughs of the wave frequency vary in size and are inversely proportional to the wavelength. read more
