What’s New Making Some Waves You have probably seen a wave, but have you created one? Let’s try and make some waves. Get a rope of any kind and tie one end of it to a fixed sturdy object near you. Now, straighten the rope and hold the other end of it. Start moving your hands up and down. Observe what happens to the rope. Were you able to make a wave? Draw the wave you made on a separate sheet of paper. Now, try to make a wave again but move your hands slowly. Observe what happens. Draw the image of the wave you created. This time, make a wave while moving your hands fast. Draw the image of the wave. Based on the activity, is there any difference on the waves you have created? Why does each created wave look differently? _______________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ 6|Page What is It When you move your hands up and down while holding one end of the rope, you create wave on the rope. The waves you created may look different depending on how fast you move your hand. Similarly, if you move an electrically charged object back and forth in an empty space, you’ll create electromagnetic waves in space. But what is an electromagnetic wave? THE ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE THEORY Brief History of Electromagnetic Theory Electricity and magnetism – in physics, these two words often go together like horse and carriage, in electromagnetism and electromagnetic induction. Let us meet the original players in the electromagnetism: Oersted, Ampere, Faraday, Henry and Maxwell along with many others who laid the groundwork for the understanding of the concepts of electromagnetic theory. Danish physicist, Hans Christian Oersted discovered accidentally, 1820 that magnetic needle is deflected when the current in a nearby wire varies – a phenomenon establishing a relationship between electricity and magnetism. Figure 1. Oersted’s setup on the discovery of electromagnetism Andre-Marie Ampere, influenced by Oertsed’s discovery, performed a series of experiments designed to elucidate the exact nature of the relationship between electric current-flow and magnetism, as well as the relationships governing the behaviour of electric currents in various types of conductors. These experiments led Ampere to formulate his famous law of electromagnetism, called after him Ampere’s Law that describes mathematically the magnetic force between two electrical currents. 7|Page Figure 2. Illustrative explanation of Faraday’s experiment Michael Faraday made his first discovery of electromagnetism in 1821. He took the work of Oersted and Ampere on the magnetic properties of electrical currents as a starting point and in 1831 achieved an electrical current from a changing magnetic field, a phenomenon known as electromagnetic induction. He found that when an electrical current passed through a coil, another very short current was generated in a nearby coil. This discovery marked a decisive milestone in the progress not only of science but also of society, and is used today to generate electricity on a large scale power stations. Joseph Henry, while working with electromagnets in 1829, made important design improvements by insulating the wire instead of the iron core. He was able to wrap a large number of turns of wire around the core and thus greatly increase the power of the magnet. He had made an electromagnet that could support 2 063 pounds, a world record at the time. He also searched for electromagnetic induction and in 1831, he started to build a large electromagnet for that purpose. He was the first to notice the principle of self- induction. A brilliant physicist and mathematician, James Clerk Maxwell, proposed Faraday’s electromagnetic induction to happen even in empty space. The symmetry between the fields fascinated him so much. He added two basic principles of electromagnetism: (1) a changing electric field in space produces a magnetic field, (2) a changing magnetic field in space produces electric field. Maxwell proposed that the alteration of electric and magnetic fields, generating and propelling each other in space, can be thought of as a form of moving energy. Maxwell further thought of this form of energy as a wave which he called electromagnetic wave. Using mathematical computations based on his theoretical assumption and the numerical results of Faraday’s experiments, Maxwell concluded that the speed of electromagnetic waves must be 3 x 108 m/s. It was only after the death of Maxwell which a German physicist, Heinrich Hertz, designed an experimental set up that was electrical in nature and able to generate and detect electromagnetic waves. 8|Page Learning Task 1.

They collide with our bodies and some pass through us. Mostly are invisible but we can perceive some. The warmth of the sun and the light that we see are just few of them. These waves share similar characteristics, yet, they are unique in some ways. These waves are called ELECTROMAGNETIC (EM) WAVES. EM waves are different from mechanical waves in some important ways. EM waves are disturbance that transfers energy through a field. They can travel through medium but what makes them strange is that they can also transmit through empty space. Radiation is the term used to describe the transfer of energy in the form of EM wave. For a mechanical wave to travel, it must vibrate the medium as it moves. This makes use some of the waves’ energy. In the end, it makes them transfer all energy to the medium. As for EM waves, they can travel through empty space or vacuum so they do not give up their energy. This enables EM waves to cross great distances such as that from the sun to the Earth (which is almost vacuum) without losing much energy. In vacuum, EM waves travel at a constant speed of 300,000,000 meters per second (3.0 x 108 m/s). At this rate, the rays of the sun take 8 minutes to reach the Earth. Electromagnetic waves can also transmit with a material medium. They can also transfer energy to the medium itself. When they interact with matter, their energy can be converted into many different forms of energy. With these characteristics, electromagnetic waves are used for a wide variety of purposes. To show that EM waves characterize similar movement as that of the mechanical waves when they encounter a barrier, do the next activity. 9|Page Learning Task 2 On and Off! Objective: Prove that electromagnetic waves can be reflected. Materials TV with remote control Mirror with stand Procedure: 1. Turn on the TV on and off using the remote control. 2. Position the mirror at an angle with which could reflect the waves from the remote control to the TV. 3. Turn the TV on and off by aiming the remote control at the mirror. Guide Question 1. How would you position the remote control in order to turn the TV on and off? 2. What does this indicate? Properties of Electromagnetic Waves The wave shown in Figure 3, illustrates properties that are used to describe waves. A crest is the highest point of a wave. For an electromagnetic wave, this is the point in time when the field is strongest. A trough is the lowest point of a wave. For an EM wave, this is the point in time when the field is weakest. 10 | P a g e Figure 3. Parts of a Wave Source:https://pa01000192.schoolwires.net/cms/lib/PA01000192/Centricity/Domain/13 5/Physics/PH%20Ch%2014/EandM%20Packet0001.pdf Different types of radiation are defined by their wavelengths, amplitude, and frequency. Wavelength is the distance between two identical points on successive waves. In most cases, wavelength is measured according to the distance between two successive wave crests or two successive troughs. A higher frequency causes a shorter wavelength and greater energy. Amplitude is a measure of the energy a wave carries. It is determined by measuring the distance from the midpoint of the wave to either a crest or a trough. Frequency is the number of wavelengths that pass by a certain point in a given time. A wave with high frequency generally has more energy than a wave with lower frequency. Frequency is expressed in Hertz (Hz). One hertz equals one cycle per second. Thus, Hertz can be expressed as “number of waves per second”. The higher the frequency, the closer the waves are together and the greater the energy carried by the waves will be. Learning Task 3.

It refers to the number of waves produced in one second. RYNEQFCEU 11 | P a g e The Electric and Magnetic Fields Together Accelerating electrons produce electromagnetic waves. These waves are a combination of electric and magnetic fields. A changing magnetic field produces an electric field and a changing electric field produces a magnetic field. As accelerated electrons produce an electric field of a wave, the varying electric field produces the wave’s magnetic field. Both the electric field and the magnetic field oscillate perpendicular to each other and to the direction of the propagating wave. Figure 4. Electromagnetic Wave https://in.pinterest.com/pin/346777240049 468014/ Speed of EM Wave All electromagnetic waves can travel through a medium but unlike other types of waves, they can also travel in vacuum. They travel in vacuum at a speed of 3x10 8 m/s and denoted as c, the speed of light. The wave speed, frequency and wavelength are related by the following equation: v = f where: v = wave speed or c (speed of light) expressed in meters per second (m/s) f = frequency expressed in Hertz (Hz)  = wavelength expressed in meters (m) Since all the electromagnetic waves (EM) have the same speed and that is equal to the speed of light, as wavelength increases, the frequency of the wave increases. Through the years, the advancement on the knowledge about electromagnetic waves led us to a modern technological world. Example Problems: (Assume that the waves propagate in a vacuum) 1. What is the frequency of a wave with wavelength of 20 m? Given: v=c=3 x 108 m/s  = 20 m Required: f = ? 12 | P a g e Solution: From the original formula: v=c=f we will derive the formula for f which is f = c/ substituting the values f = 3 x 108 m/s 20 m f = 1.5 x 107 Hz 2. What is the frequency of EM waves with wavelength of 5 x 10-7 m? Given: v=c=3 x 108 m/s  = 5 x 10-7 m Required: f = ? Formula: v=c=f f=c/ f = 3 x 108 m/s 5 x 10-7 m f = 6 x 1014 Hz 3. Calculate the wavelength of radiation with a frequency of 610 kHz. ( Note: 1 kHz = 1000 Hz) Given: v=c=3 x 108 m/s f = 610 kHz x (1000 Hz/1 kHz) = 610,000 Hz Required:  = ? Formula: v=c=f =c/f  = 3 x 108 m/s 6.1 x 105 Hz  = 490 m Learning Task 4. Calculate the following problems. Show your solution in your answer sheet. 1.

What is the wavelength of a ray having a frequency of 4.80 x 1017 Hz? 3. An EM wave has a frequency of 6.01 x 1014 Hz. What is the wavelength? 13 | P a g e What I Have Learned GENERALIZATION Now, let us sum up the concepts you have learned in this module. A wave is a disturbance that transfers energy. James Clerk Maxwell formulated the Electromagnetic Wave Theory which says that an oscillating electric current should be capable of radiating energy in the form of electromagnetic waves. Heinrich Hertz discovered the Hertzian waves which is now known as radio waves. Hertz is the unit used to measure the frequency of waves. Electromagnetic (EM) waves have unique properties. ► EM waves can travel through a vacuum. ► EM waves travel at the speed which is constant in a given medium and has a value of c = 3.0 x 108 m/s in vacuum. ► EM waves are disturbances in a field rather than in a medium. ► EM waves have an electric field that travels perpendicular with the magnetic field. ► EM waves form when moving charged particles transfer energy through a field.
