Electromagnetic waves are created by a fusion of electric and magnetic fields. The light you see, the colours around you are visible because of electromagnetic waves.

Here are the following examples of electromagnetic waves:

Microwaves

X-ray

Radio waves

Ultraviolet waves

There are two types of mechanical waves:

Longitudinal waves – In this type of wave, the movement of the particle are parallel to the motion of the energy i.e. the displacement of the medium is in the same direction to which the wave is moving. Example – Sound Waves, Pressure Waves.

Transverse waves –  When the movement of the particles is at right angles or perpendicular to the motion of the energy, then this type of wave is known as Transverse wave.  Light is an example of a transverse wave. Some of the other examples are – ‘Polarized’ waves & Electromagnetic waves.

Mechanical waves: A mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter and is responsible for the transfer of energy through a medium.

Electromagnetic waves: Electromagnetic waves are created by a fusion of electric and magnetic fields. The light you see, the colours around you are visible because of electromagnetic waves.

Wave is a flow or transfer of energy in the form of oscillation through a medium – space or mass. Sea waves or tides, a sound which we hear, a photon of light travelling and even the movement of small plants blown by the wind are all examples of different types of waves.
