The document discusses electromagnetic waves and their properties. It begins by stating the objectives are to describe the electromagnetic spectrum, visible light as part of it, sources of electromagnetic waves, and their properties and applications. It then explains that electromagnetic waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields perpendicular to each other and to the direction of wave travel, making them transverse waves. Examples of sources and uses of different electromagnetic waves across the spectrum are provided.

describe electromagnetic spectrum state the visible light is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum list the sources of electromagnetic waves describe the properties of electromagnetic waves describe the applications of electromagnetic waves Objectives Electromagnetic Waves Electromagnetic waves such of light wave consist of a combination of oscillating electric and magnetic fields perpendicular to each other. Electromagnetic Waves An electromagnetic wave (such as a radio wave) propagates outwards from the source (an antenna, perhaps) at the speed of light.
What this means in practice is that the source has created oscillating electric and magnetic fields, perpendicular to each other, that travel away from the source.
The E and B fields, along with being perpendicular to each other, are perpendicular to the direction the wave travels, meaning that an electromagnetic wave is a transverse wave. The energy of the wave is stored in the electric and magnetic fields. Electromagnetic Waves Electromagnetic waves such of light wave consist of a combination of oscillating electric and magnetic fields perpendicular to each other. Properties of Electromagnetic Waves
a.They are transverse waves: i.Electromagnetic waves are transverse wave. ii.The moving wave effect is produced by oscillating electric and magnetic fields oscillate at right angles to the direction of travel and at right angles to each other
The moving wave effect is produced by oscillating electric and magnetic fields oscillate at right angles to the direction of travel and at right angles to each other Transverse Waves 1 Properties of Electromagnetic Waves
a.They are transverse waves: i.Electromagnetic waves are transverse wave. ii.The moving wave effect is produced by oscillating electric and magnetic fields oscillate at right angles to the direction of travel and at right angles to each other
Travel in Vacuum (in same speed) 2 Electromagnetic wave can travel in vacuum In vacuum, all the electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed commonly known as the speed of light (3 108m/s).
In other medium, different electromagnetic wave may travel at different speed. Properties of Electromagnetic Waves
a.They are transverse waves: i.Electromagnetic waves are transverse wave. ii.The moving wave effect is produced by oscillating electric and magnetic fields oscillate at right angles to the direction of travel and at right angles to each other
Can be polarised 3 Polarisation of light is the process of confining vibrations of a light wave in only one plane which is perpendicular to the direction of travel of the wave.
Light from the sun or lamp is unpolarised (its vibrations are in all the planes perpendicular to its direction of travel. Properties of Electromagnetic Waves
a.They are transverse waves: i.Electromagnetic waves are transverse wave. ii.The moving wave effect is produced by oscillating electric and magnetic fields oscillate at right angles to the direction of travel and at right angles to each other
Can be polarised 3 Plane polarized light will be produced when light travels through a polarizing material like polaroid. Polaroid is a type of material that only allows light waves of one plane to pass through Electromagnetic Spectrum The full range of electromagnetic waves, arrange orderly in their wavelengths and frequencies is called the electromagnetic spectrum Electromagnetic Spectrum 1. The order of the electromagnetic waves in electromagnetic spectrum. 2. The sources of the electromagnetic waves 3. The applications of the electromagnetic waves Electromagnetic Spectrum The Order of Electromagnetic Waves Electromagnetic Spectrum The Sources of Electromagnetic Waves
