Study Notes
Components of Electromagnetic Waves
- An Electromagnetic wave consists of two components: Electric and Magnetic.
Relationship between Components and Propagation
- The Electric and Magnetic components of an Electromagnetic wave are perpendicular to each other and propagate in the direction perpendicular to both components.
- The Electric component and Magnetic component are in phase with each other, meaning they reach their maximum and minimum values at the same time.
Purpose of Electromagnetic Waves in Wireless Communication
- The primary purpose of using Electromagnetic waves in wireless communication is to transmit information wirelessly over long distances.
Wavelength of a Wave
- The wavelength of a wave is the distance between two consecutive points on the wave that are in phase with each other.
Frequency of a Wave
- The frequency of a wave is the number of oscillations or cycles per second, measured in Hertz (Hz).
Interference of Waves
- When two waves with components in the same direction interfere, they result in constructive interference, which increases the amplitude of the wave.
