    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 = E₀sin(kx - ωt), where E is the electric field, E₀ 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.
