Does the light include radio waves or not.
Answer to Problem 1RQ
Yes light include radio waves because, both light and radio waves are
Explanation of Solution
Light is an electromagnetic wave. It is composed of electric and magnetic components. These components are vibrating perpendicular to each other and to the direction of propagation.
Light is part of a spectrum of electromagnetic energy that include radio waves, microwaves, infrared
Radio waves lie at the longer end of the spectrum of the electromagnetic energy. Visible light is simply electromagnetic radiation in a range of wavelengths that our eyes are sensitive to. Ultraviolet
Conclusion:
Therefore, both the light and radio waves are electromagnetic waves.
