Electromagnetic wave:
4
Electromagnetic wave fun facts:
The energy transferred by this type of wave is electromagnetic radiation.
5
Electromagnetic wave fun facts:
The energy transferred by this type of wave is electromagnetic radiation. They travel at about 300,000,000 meters per second in a vacuum.
