 EMR Spectrum

EM wave: Can be visualized as propagating sinusoidal waves

Travelling with a particular wavelength.

Does an EM wave have mass?

Does an EM wave have energy?

Each massless particles of an EM wave contains a certain amount of
Or bundle of energy called as photons!

 Digital Image

If you cant measure something, you cant

understand it. If you cant understand it, you
cant control it. If you cant control it, you
cant improve it.
