Electromagnetic Wave

A wave of electric and magnetic energy that can travel through matter or a vacuum, like X-rays

Real World Example

Imagine trying to have a conversation with someone across a crowded room filled with people chatting and music blaring. Just as your voice carries over the noise and reaches your friend, electromagnetic waves can travel through various environments, whether it’s a bustling space or the emptiness of space. In this analogy, your voice is like the electromagnetic energy that can traverse different mediums, while the crowded room represents the matter or vacuum through which these waves can propagate, much like how X-rays pass through both human tissue and air.
