Light is an electromagnetic wave, yes. I wouldn't say it "has" an electromagnetic field, so much as it is an electromagnetic field.Aeronautic Freek said:light is electromagnetic wave ,so does it also have magnetic and electric field,like all others waves(micro,gama,xray,radio waves etc..)?
The magnetic component of a light wave flips direction 1015 times per second. If you can find a compass that'll flip direction 1015 times a second, it probably will react to the magnetic field of light.Aeronautic Freek said:if it has ,why than compass don't response to light?
Aeronautic Freek said:i never heard that some one talk about light in sense of magnetic and electric field..
Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye. It is made up of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that travel through space at the speed of light.
Light travels as a transverse wave, meaning that the electric and magnetic fields oscillate perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation. This allows light to travel through a vacuum, as well as through transparent mediums like air and water.
Light is just one form of electromagnetic radiation, which also includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays. These different forms of radiation have different wavelengths and frequencies, with light falling in the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Light can be produced through a variety of processes, including thermal radiation, chemical reactions, and electrical discharges. In most cases, light is produced when electrons in atoms or molecules are excited and then return to a lower energy state, releasing energy in the form of light.
Light has numerous practical applications, including communication (via fiber optics), imaging (such as in cameras and microscopes), and energy production (such as in solar panels). It also plays a crucial role in photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy.
