Study Notes

Electromagnetic Waves

  • Displacement current is defined as a current that appears to flow through a dielectric in a changing electric field.

Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction

  • Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction is represented by the equation: ε = -N(dΦ/dt), where ε is the electromotive force, N is the number of turns, and Φ is the magnetic flux.

Electromagnetic Wave Equation

  • The equation of a plane progressive electromagnetic wave is E = Eâ‚€sin(kx - ωt), where E is the electric field, Eâ‚€ is the amplitude, k is the wave number, x is the position, and ω is the angular frequency.

Properties of Electromagnetic Waves

  • Electromagnetic waves have both electric and magnetic field components, which are perpendicular to each other and the direction of propagation.
  • Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum and do not require a medium.
  • Electromagnetic waves have a wide range of frequencies, including radio, microwave, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, and X-ray frequencies.

Speed of Electromagnetic Waves

  • The speed of an electromagnetic wave is represented by the constant c, which is approximately 3 x 10^8 meters per second in a vacuum.
