Electromagnetic waves | High school physics | Khan Academy

Electromagnetic (EM) waves are produced whenever electrons or other charged particles accelerate. The wavelength of an EM wave is the distance between consecutive points on the wave with the same phase (e.g. one crest to the next crest). The frequency of an EM wave is how many wave cycles are emitted, or pass a given point, per second. The speed of a wave is equal to its frequency times its wavelength. In vacuum, all EM waves travel at speed c = 3 x 10^8 m/s.
