Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 1RQ

Yes light include radio waves because, both light and radio waves are electromagnetic waves.

Explanation of Solution

Light is an electromagnetic wave. It is composed of electric and magnetic components. These components are vibrating perpendicular to each other and to the direction of propagation.

Light is part of a spectrum of electromagnetic energy that include radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet light, X- ray and gamma rays.

Radio waves lie at the longer end of the spectrum of the electromagnetic energy. Visible light is simply electromagnetic radiation in a range of wavelengths that our eyes are sensitive to. Ultraviolet light is shorter wavelengths than visible light.

Conclusion:

Therefore, both the light and radio waves are electromagnetic waves.
