1: Describe How can vibrations produce an electromagnetic wave? 2: Compare and Contrast; How are light waves different from ocean waves?
3: Explain Use the terms transfer, EM wave, energy, and sun to explain the
radiation of sunlight.

3. An electromagnetic wave begins when an electrically charged particle vibrates. This causes a vibrating electric field, which in turn creates a vibrating magnetic field. The two vibrating fields together form an electromagnetic wave.

2. Light waves are electromagnetic waves while sound waves are mechanical waves.

3.Solar radiation includes visible light, ultraviolet light, infrared, radio waves, X-rays, and gamma rays. The Electromagnetic Spectrum. Radiation is one way to transfer heat
