Electromagnetic waves
 The successive production of electric and
magnetic field results to the creation EM
wave.
 An EM wave propagates outward from the
source.

Electromagnetic waves
 The electric and magnetic fields vibrate at right
angles to the direction the wave travels so it is a
transverse 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 8m/s and denoted as
c, the speed of light. The wave speed,
frequency, and wavelength are related by the
following equation:
v=λf
where v is the wave speed, or c (speed of
light) expressed in meters per second, the
frequency f is expressed in Hertz and the
wavelength λ is expressed in meters.
 Since all the EM waves have the same speed and that is
equal to the speed of light, as wavelength decreases, the
frequency of the wave increases.

Example Problems: (Assume that the waves propagate in


a vacuum.)
 1. What is the frequency of radio waves with wavelength

of 20 m?

Given: v= c = 3X10 m/s8 λ= 20 m f= ?


v=c=λf f=c/λ
= 3X108 m/s
20 m
= 1.5 X107 Hz
