I haven’t used these new units, but according to 
https://www.w3.org/TR/css3-values/#lengths 'vw’ is "1% of viewport’s width and 
’vh’ is "1% of viewport’s height”. As ’ems’ are not related to the viewport 
”size" at all, then I’d say you can never say what you suggest with any useful 
certainty, unless you somehow set the basic font size in relation to the 
viewport size. 

Once you’ve set the basic font size for a page, you can use ems or any other 
relative size unit to change the size for a contained element. That’s if you’ve 
reset the element specific relative sizes provided by the browser itself 
somehow. Typically sizes are inherited, but HTML elements also have specific 
relative sizes in most browsers.
