Electromagnetic
Waves
Review
: A wave is a temporary
disturbance that transfers
energy from one place to
another.

Mechanical waves
:
Electromagnetic
Waves
Review
: Waves in water and sound waves in air are two
examples of mechanical waves.
Matter, such as solid, liquid or gas that mechanical
waves are traveling through is called a medium.
Review
: Electromagnetic waves, such as a visible light differ from
mechanical waves in that they do not require a medium
to propagate.
This means that electromagnetic waves can travel not
only through air and solid materials, but also through a
vacuum space.
Characteristics
EM waves of Waves
are transverse waves
Characteristics of
Waves
(A)
Amplitude(A) - height of a wave, usually
measured in meters (m).
Characteristics of
Waves
wavelength(λ)
wavelength (λ)
Wavelength(λ) - the distance between two
consecutive crests or troughs, and usually
measured in meters (m).
Characteristics of
Waves
wavelength(λ)
wavelength (λ)
Wavelength(λ) - the distance between two
consecutive crests or troughs, and usually
measured in meters (m).
Characteristics of
Waves Frequency (f)
Hertz = cycles per
f second
Hz= ( )
Frequency(f) - the number of waves passing a point in a
certain time. We normally use a time of 1 second, so this
gives frequency the unit hertz (Hz).
Characteristics of
Waves Frequency (f)
Frequency(f) - the number of waves passing a point in a
certain time. We normally use a time of 1 second, so this
gives frequency the unit hertz (Hz).

Scientists who made significant
contributions in the development of
the study on the Electromagnetic
Wave.
Hans Christian
Ørsted (1777-1851)
In 1820, he showed how a
current carrying wire behaves like
a magnet.
André-Marie Ampère
(1775-1836)
In 1826, he demonstrated
the magnetic effect based
on the direction of current.
Michael Faraday
(1791-1867)
Formulated the principle
behind electromagnetic
induction.
James Clerk Maxwell
(1831-1879)
In 1873, he contributed in
developing equations
showing the relationship of
electricity and magnetism.
Heinrich Hertz
(1857-1894)
In 1886, he showed
experimental evidence of
electromagnetic waves and
their link to light.
How are EM
Waves
formed/produced
?
Electromagnetic waves are formed when
an electric field comes in contact with a
magnetic field.
Electricity and Magnetism can be static,
but changing magnetic field will induced
electric field and vise-versa.
These changing fields form
electromagnetic waves
The Electric and Magnetic Fields Together
A changing magnetic field
produces an electric field.
A changing electric field
produces a magnetic field.
The Electric and Magnetic Fields Together
Both the electric
field and the
magnetic field
oscillate
perpendicular to each
other and to the
direction of the
propagating wave.
All EM waves travel at constant
speed of 3x108 m/s in vacuum.
The Electromagnetic Wave Formula
Electromagnetic waves obey the following wave
formula:
Wave Speed = frequency x
wavelength
OR
v=fλ
The Electromagnetic Wave Formula
v=fλ
v is the wave speed, or c (speed of light) =
3X108 m/s
f is the frequency expressed in Hertz (Hz) or
cycles per second ( )
λ is the wavelength in meters (m)
The Electromagnetic Wave Formula

What is the frequency of radio waves with wavelength of 20m ?
(assume that the waves propagate in a vacuum)
Given: v= 3X108 λ= 20 m f=
m/s ?
Formula: v= fλ
Therefore: f= 3X108 m/s
20 m
f= 1.5 X107 Hz
Example problem no.
2 What is the wavelength of ultraviolet ray if its frequency is
4X1016 Hz ? Note: Assume that the waves propagate in a
vacuum.
Given: v= 3X108 f = 4X1016 λ=?
m/s Hz
Formula: v=λf
Therefore: λ = 3X108 m/s
4X1016 Hz
λ = 7.5X10-9 m
Electromagnetic Waves can be described in terms of a stream of mass-
less particles, called photons, each travelling in a wave-like pattern at
the speed of light.
Each photon contains a certain amount of
energy.
The different types of EM waves are defined by the amount of energy
found in the photons.
Where:
E=hf
E the energy of the photon absorbed or
emitted (given in Joules (J) or Electron Volts
(eV)
f Frequency of the photon given in Hertz (Hz)
h Planck’s constant 6.6261 x 10-34 J.s
