What are called non-mechanical waves? Give its examples.
(N/A) Non-mechanical waves are waves that do not require a material medium for their propagation. These waves can travel through a vacuum.
They are also known as electromagnetic waves.
Examples of non-mechanical waves include:
$1$. Light waves
$2$. Radio waves
$3$. $X$-rays
$4$. Gamma rays
$5$. Microwaves

View SolutionThe energy density associated with the electric field $\overrightarrow{E}$ and magnetic field $\overrightarrow{B}$ of an electromagnetic wave in free space is given by ($\epsilon_0$ - permittivity of free space,$\mu_0$ - permeability of free space):
In an $EM$ wave propagating along the $X-$ direction,the magnetic field oscillates at a frequency of $3 \times 10^{10} \, Hz$ along the $Y-$ direction and has an amplitude of $10^{-7} \, T$. The expression for the electric field will be:
