Dual Nature of Electromagnetic Waves
An electromagnetic wave can be created by accelerating charges; moving charges back and forth will produce oscillating electric and magnetic fields, and these travel at the speed of light. We split up the electromagnetic spectrum based on frequency. The energy carried by an electromagnetic wave is proportional to the frequency of the wave. The wavelength and frequency of the wave are connected by the speed of light. In electromagnetic waves, no medium is required for the wave to travel through. It also has momentum, and can apply pressure.
Electromagnetic wave has the dual nature, and it exhibits wave properties and particulate properties both. An electromagnetic wave is a concentration of energy and other properties in space and time; and it's also spread out over a larger region of space and time.
