Electromagnetic Radiation

Electromagnetic radiation is a type of energy that incorporates both electricity and magnetism. Forms of electromagnetic radiation include visible light, radio waves, gamma rays and X-rays. Researchers are continuously investigating how electromagnetic forces and charged particles interact with each others. Science has described electromagnetic forces of attraction and repulsion, as well as how electric and magnetic fields are generated. Maxwell takes the next steps James Clerk Maxwell’s iconic work on electromagnetic radiation defined, for the first time, a universe driven by continuous energy fields. It is based on previous research by Michael Faraday, who showed how electric energy could be converted into magnetic energy and vice versa. At the time, Faraday’s research wasn’t considered groundbreaking and only a few scientists were inspired by his findings. Maxwell was one of those scientists, and in 1956, he published a paper that compared Faraday’s the lines of force to the flow of
