Study Notes
Electromagnetic Waves
- Maxwell's equations describe electric and magnetic fields and their sources, including charges and current densities.
- Changes in either electric or magnetic fields create the other.
- Accelerated charges produce electromagnetic waves.
- Electromagnetic waves are self-sustaining oscillations of electric and magnetic fields in free space.
- Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to propagate.
- The speed of electromagnetic waves in a vacuum is constant (approximately 3 × 10⁸ m/s).
- Electromagnetic waves have both electric and magnetic field components that are perpendicular to each other and the direction of propagation.
- The magnitude of the electric and magnetic fields are related via B = (E₀/c).
- The frequency of an electromagnetic wave equals the frequency of oscillation of the charge producing it.
- Electromagnetic waves carry energy and momentum.
- The total momentum delivered to a surface struck by electromagnetic waves is given by p = U/c, where U is the total energy transferred to the surface in time t.
Maxwell's Equations
- E⋅dA = Q/ε₀ (Gauss's Law for Electricity)
- B⋅dA = 0 (Gauss's Law for Magnetism)
- E⋅dl = -dΦB/dt (Faraday's Law)
- B⋅dl = μ₀i + μ₀ε₀dΦE/dt (Ampere-Maxwell Law)
Electromagnetic Spectrum
- The electromagnetic spectrum encompasses a range of electromagnetic waves, organized by frequency and wavelength.
- Various regions of the EM spectrum have different names (gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet, visible, infrared, microwaves, and radio waves).
- The regions in the spectrum are not sharply divided; there are overlaps.
- The wavelength range of each type of wave varies greatly.
- Sources and detection methods for each type of wave vary.
