Light, microwaves, x-rays, and TV and radio
transmissions are all kinds of electromagnetic waves.
They are all the same kind of wavy disturbance that
repeats itself over a distance called the wavelength.

A fundamental interaction
between the magnetic field
and the presence and motion
of an electric charge
Electromagnetism
A Field is any physical quantity which takes on
different values at different points in space.
Electricity and magnetism are different
aspects of electromagnetism
A moving
electric charge
produces
magnetic fields
Changing
magnetic fields
move electric
charges
Charges in motion (an electrical current)
produce a magnetic field
Magnetic field from electricity
A static distribution of charges
produces an electric field
A changing magnetic field produces an electric current in a loop surrounding the field
Electricity from changing magnetic
field (Induced Current)
(electromagnetic induction, or Faradays Law)
The Electricity and Magnetism

A changing magnetic (electric) field produces an
electric (magnetic) field.

Electric (Magnetic) field produces force on charges

An accelerating charge produces electro-magnetic
waves (radiation)

Both electric and magnetic fields can transport energy
Electric field energy used in electrical circuits.

Magnetic field carries energy through transformer.

Electromagnetic
Waves
A changing electric field can give rise to a changing
magnetic field, and vise versa.

In an electromagnetic wave, the electric and magnetic
fields keep each other going so that it can propagate
through free space.

The energy (E) associated with the em wave is hv .Thus
the frequency of oscillation determines the energy that the
wave will carry.

Higher frequency waves such as Gamma rays
carry significantly more energy than smaller
frequency waves like radio waves or visible light.

An electromagnetic wave is a transverse wave, with the electric and magnetic fields
oscillating at right angles to each other.
Electromagnetic
Radiation
Interrelated electric and magnetic fields traveling through space
All electromagnetic radiation travels at speed c = 310
8
m/s in
vacuum.
real number is 299792458.0 m/s exactly

Electromagnetic waves travel through empty space!
An electromagnetic
(EM) wave can be
described using
vectors, as it has both
magnitude and
directional
components

It is a transverse
wave, which means it
vibrates at right
angles to the direction
in which it travels

Properties of Electromagnetic
Waves
This 3D diagram shows a plane
linearly polarized wave
propagating from left to right
with the same wave equations.
When two or more such waves meet they can
interact in a variety of ways.
If two waves meet, and are of the same
frequency, amplitude and phase, then they will
constructively interfere with each other to
produce a wave with twice the amplitude.
If the two waves met and were out of phase by
180 then they would destructively interfere and
therefore cancel each other out .

electromagnetic radiation
The Electromagnetic Spectrum

Relationship between frequency, speed and wavelength
v = c

Different frequencies of electromagnetic radiation are better suited
to different purposes.

The electromagnetic spectrum is the full range of frequencies or
wavelengths at which a wave can oscillate.

The wavelength is the distance a wave will travel during one full
cycle or oscillation. What our eyes detect as visible light are
electromagnetic waves with a wavelength between 750nm and
400nm.

Electrostatics: Charges are at rest
(no time-variation)

Magnetostatics: Charges are in steady motion
(no time-variation)

Electrodynamics: Charges are in time-varying
motion

energy and information)

SPHERICAL COORDINATES
In last slides we looked at
cylindrical coordinates -- a
system of coordinates
that is very useful when
the important things about
a three-dimensional point
are its distance from the
z-axis and its angle from
the positive xy-plane.
Now we look at situations
in which the important
things about a point are
its distance from the
origin and, using terms
from geography, its
latitude and longitude. In
this situation we use
spherical coordinates.
(r, theta ,phi)
The first of these coordinates -- r--
denotes the point's distance from the
origin. The movie below shows the sets
of points with rho = 0.2, 0.3, ... 1.0.
The second coordinate -- theta --is very similar to latitude.
Think of yourself as located at the origin with your right hand
pointing straight upward along the positive z-axis. Then face
the point in question and lower your right hand until it is
pointing at this point. The angle by which your right hand is
lowered is the coordinate phi. Notice if theta = 0 then the point
is on the positive z-axis; if theta = pi / 2 then the point is in the
xy-plane; and if theta = pi then the point is on the negative z-
axis. The movie below shows points with constant values of
theta for theta = 0, pi / 16, 2 pi / 16, ... pi.
The third coordinate --
phi -- is identical to the
coordinate theta used
in cylindrical
coordinates. It
measures the angle
from the positive xz-
plane to the point. The
movie below shows
points with constant
values of theta.
This system of coordinates is very similar to the system -- longitude
and latitude -- of coordinates used to describe points on the earth's
surface.
