QUESTIONS What are EM waves? How are EM waves produced? What are some properties of EM waves?
What are EM waves? is a continuum of all electromagnetic waves arranged according to frequency and wavelength. Electromagnetic Spectrum
What are EM waves? Electromagnetic Spectrum
A periodic disturbance that transfers or carries energy from place to place. WAVE
PARTS OF A WAVE
WAVELENGTH – the distance between two successive identical parts of wave. AMPLITUDE – the height of the wave from crest to trough FREQUENCY – it is number of complete waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time. PARTS OF A WAVE
FREQUENCY – it is number of complete waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time. PARTS OF A WAVE – number of vibrations per second – measured in hertz (Hz) or second raise to negative one.
A periodic disturbance that transfers or carries energy from place to place. 2 MAIN TYPES OF WAVES: Mechanical Wave Electromagnetic Wave WAVE
MEDIUM is the material through which a mechanical wave travels. It can be a gas, liquid, or solid. Mechanical waves require a medium in order to transport their energy from one location to another. Electromagnetic wave is capable of transmitting its energy through a vacuum
MECHANICAL WAVES There are two types of mechanical waves: Longitudinal waves – the movement of the particles is parallel to the motion of the energy i.e. the displacement of the medium is in the same direction in which the wave is moving. Examples – Sound Waves, Pressure Waves. Transverse waves – the movement of the particles is at right angles or perpendicular to the motion of the energy Light is an example of a transverse wave.

EXAMPLES OF MECHANICAL WAVES Sound Waves sound wave necessarily requires a medium to propagate from one location to the other. In other words, the sound is incapable of traveling through a vacuum. Ultrasonic and infrasonic sound waves are inaudible to humans, but they are also an example of mechanical waves.
EXAMPLES OF MECHANICAL WAVES WATER Waves Due to the action of the gravitational force of the moon, the earth, and the sun, the water present in the seas or oceans receives a pull force, leading to the formation of a wave. The crests and troughs of such waves are easily visible. Hence, the ocean and sea waves are yet another example of transverse mechanical waves in real life.
EXAMPLES OF MECHANICAL WAVES Spring Waves When a push or a pull force is applied to one end of a spring or a slinky, keeping its opposite end stable, its particles tend to vibrate back and forth in a direction parallel to the movement of the spring. The compressions and rarefactions formed by a deformed spring can be easily observed. Hence, the waves produced by a spring or a slinky are known as longitudinal mechanical waves.
EXAMPLES OF MECHANICAL WAVES Stadium Waves when a group of people pull their arms up rhythmically one after another. The audience present in the stadium acts as a medium for the wave to travel from one location to the other. Hence, the stadium wave is a classic example of mechanical waves.
EXAMPLES OF MECHANICAL WAVES Seismic Waves Seismic waves are the waves produced due to the movement of the tectonic plates of the earth or because of an earthquake. Since the propagation of seismic waves requires a rigid medium, they are classified under the category of mechanical waves.

Accelerating electrons produce electromagnetic waves. A changing magnetic field produces an electric field and a changing electric field produces a magnetic field. The Electric and Magnetic Fields Together
The longer the wavelength, the lower the frequency, means lesser energy. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency, means higher energy. High amplitude means high energy. Amplitude may be the same among waves with different value of wavelength and frequency. Relationships among Frequency, Wavelength, Amplitude, and Energy
Wave Speed The wave speed is the ratio of wavelength and period (1/f), thus… Wave Speed (m/s) = wavelength (m) x frequency (Hz or s -1 ) Frequency = wave speed / wavelength Wavelength = wave speed / frequency The speed of all EM Waves is the same – 3x10 8 m/s or 300 million m/s
