Competence to develop:
The student remembers the concepts of wave physics and electromagnetism, to determine
parameters and general characteristics of electromagnetic waves, using concepts and
mathematical methods for the solution of application exercises.
Topics to develop:
- Electromagnetic waves.
- Parameters of electromagnetic waves.
- Electrical permittivity and magnetic permeability.
- Depth of penetration of the waves.
Steps, phases of the learning strategy to develop
Dear student, this activity called Step 1 is individual, for your development you must
follow the 5 acts presented below:
Act 1: Explore the academic resource "Electromagnetic waves in free space"
described at the beginning of the "Activities to develop" section of this document.
Act 2: Download the “Annex 1 - Delivery format - Step 1” found in the collaborative
learning environment in the "Activities guide and evaluation rubric - Step 1 - to
make the course recognition" folder.
Act 3: Answer the 6 introductory questions that are proposed in the "Activities to
develop" section of this document.
Act 4: Each student must complete the application in its individual delivery format,
verifying the requirements of the evaluation rubric. You can share your progress and
questions in the "Step 1" forum.
Act 5: Submit the requested work in the Monitoring and Evaluation Environment.
Activities to develop
Explore within the Knowledge Environment, in Unit 1, the bibliographical references of
Quesada, M., & Maroto, J. (2014), pages 49-60 and the video of Gutiérrez, W. (2017), and
solve the following questions:

1. What is an electromagnetic wave?

2. What is electrical permittivity 𝜺 and magnetic permeability 𝝁 of a medium?
3. In a vacuum, what is the value of the electric permittivity 𝜺𝒐 and the magnetic
permeability 𝝁𝒐 ?
4. If the relationship between relative and absolute electric permittivity in a medium is
𝜺 = 𝜺𝒓 𝜺𝒐 , what is for the absolute magnetic permeability 𝝁 and the relative 𝝁𝒓 ?
2𝜋
5. In the wave equation 𝐸(𝑥, 𝑡) = 𝐴 𝑠𝑒𝑛(𝑘𝑥 − 𝑤𝑡)𝑗̂ = 𝐴 𝑠𝑒𝑛 ( 𝜆 𝑥 − 2𝜋𝑓𝑡) 𝑗̂ identify the following
parameters and their unit:
- Amplitude: _A_ [m] (example).
- Frequency: ___
- Time: ___
- Angular frequency: ___
- Wavelength: ___
- Wave number: ___
- Polarization direction: ___
- Direction of displacement: ___

The APA standards are the style of organization and presentation of

information most used in the area of social sciences. These are published
under a manual that allows you to have access to the ways in which a
Use of scientific article should be presented. Here you can find the most relevant
references aspects of the sixth edition of the APA Standards Manual, such as
references, citations, preparation and presentation of tables and figures,
headings and seriation, among others. You can check how to implement
them by going to http://normasapa.com/
In the agreement 029 of December 13, 2013, article 99, the mistakes
that infringe upon the academic order, among others, are the following:
paragraph e) “To plagiarize is to present as your own work the whole or
part of a writing, report, task or document of invention performed by
Plagiarism
another person. It also implies the use of cites or lack of references, or
policy
includes cites where there is no coincidence between them and the
reference” and paragraph f)”To reproduce, or copy for profit, educational
resources or results of research products, which have intellectual rights
reserved for the University”.
The academic punishments that the student will face are:
 a) In case of academic fraud proved in the academic work or evaluation,
the score achieved will be zero (0.0) without leading to disciplinary
measures.
b) In case of plagiarism proved in the academic work of any nature, the
score achieved will be zero (0.0), without leading to disciplinary
measures.
