Introduction
With this work, we can deepen the issues of electromagnetic waves in dielectric and
insulating conductors, as well as the concepts of electromagnetism and the
parameters of behavior of waves in open media by applying this knowledge in the
solution of mathematical exercises.

Questions: (write with your own words)

1. What do you mean propagation medium open for electromagnetic waves?

Open propagation medium for electromagnetic waves, is the medium in which the
waves are transmitted free space, do not need a material to be able to propagate.

2. Within the propagation mediums, what is mean by the tangent of losses?

is the relation between the conduction current and displacemen current.
this is a parameter that depends of the medium and in the conductors it tends to get
larger.

3. Of what physical variables does the value of the tangent of losses depend?
energy lost per cycle
energy stored for cycle

4. How are the propagation medium classified from the tangent of losses?
Media Tan(δ) δ [°]
1. Perfect dielectrics (Not dissipative) Tan(δ) = 0 δ = 0°
2. Good insulators (Lost low dielectric) 0 < Tan(δ) <= 0,1 0° < δ <= 6°
3. Dissipative dielectrics (Dielectrics with losses) 0,1 < Tan(δ) <= 10 6° < δ <= 84°
4. Good conductors (Good conductors) Tan(δ) > 10 84°< δ < 90°
5. Perfect conductors (Perfect conductors) Tan(δ) >>> 10 δ = 90°
 5. What are the propagation parameters of the waves through a medium?

the waves usually need a material medium to propagate, although some can do it

perfectly in a vacuum. This depends on the nature of the wave.

Electromagnetic waves do not require a material medium to propagate, so they are

a form of radiation. This is because they constitute alterations in the electric and

magnetic fields of the particles, and they travel at very high speeds (light, for

example, at 300,000 km / s).

On the other hand, mechanical waves require a physical means to propagate, such as

water, a metal, air from the atmosphere or other elements and surfaces, as long as

they are capable of transmitting a ripple, as occurs in tremors or on the surface of the

water when we throw a stone into a pond.

Application exercises:

1. Assume that an electromagnetic wave E of frequency f =CCC MHz travels

through the medium chosen in Table 1. Calculate the Loss Tangent Tan (δ)
and the angle of losses δ. (Note that CCC are the first 3 digits of your
identification number).

medium according to one of the 5 options in Table 2:
