ELECTRICITY AND MAGNETISM
 Electricity is the presence and flow of electric charge. Its best-known form is
the flow of electrons through conductors such as copper wires. Electricity is
a form of energy that comes in positive and negative forms, that occur
naturally (as in lightning), or is produced (as in generator).
 Magnetism is a phenomenon associated with magnetic fields, which arise
from the motion of electric charges. This motion can take many forms. It can
be an electric current in a conductor or charged particles moving through
space, or it can be the motion of an electron in an atomic orbital. Magnetism
is also associated with elementary particles, such as the electron, that have a
property called spin.h

REVIEW:
EM Waves or family of Light waves consist of a varying electric field (E)
coupled with a varying magnetic field (B), at right angles to each other and
to the direction of travel.
Electromagnetic waves are named for the fact that they have both
an electric and a magnetic component. They begin when charged
particles, like electrons, vibrate due to the various forces acting on
them. The vibration of charged particles results in an emission of
energy known as electromagnetic radiation.
EM waves propagate outward from the source. Just like regular
transverse waves, the oscillations of EM waves are perpendicular to
the direction of the wave's travel.
Properties of EM waves
•Electromagnetic waves carry transverse vibrations in electrical and

magnetic fields, not vibrating particles.
•Electromagnetic waves do not need matter/medium to travel through -
they can travel through empty space (a vacuum).
•In a vacuum, all electromagnetic waves travel at approximately 3 x
108 m/s - the fastest speed possible.
•When electromagnetic waves travel through matter (for example, light
through air or glass), they travel a bit slower than this but rarely less than
half as fast as in a vacuum. The value for light travelling through an optical
fibre, for example, is taken as 2 x 10 8 m/s.
The electromagnetic spectrum represents the range of energy from
low energy, low frequency radio waves with long wavelengths up to
high energy, high frequency gamma waves with small wavelengths.
Using the spectrum in medicine
Many parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are used in medicine. You should be able to describe
some of these uses. The following facts will be of help although you may have been taught other
uses for some or all of the parts of the spectrum.
•A laser is a concentrated high-energy beam of light. A

carbon dioxide laser is used to treat tumors. An argon
laser is used to repair damage to the retina of the eye.
An argon laser is also used to remove birthmarks.
•X-rays pass through soft body tissue but are absorbed

by dense bones in the body. X-rays darken an unexposed
photographic film. They are used to detect breaks in
bones - the break showing up as a dark line on a
photographic film while the bone appears white.
•Gamma rays are produced by tracers taken into the body and
detected using a gamma camera.
•Ultraviolet radiation is used to treat skin conditions such as
acne. Ultraviolet radiation is also used to sterilize equipment
because it can kill harmful bacteria. Too much exposure to
ultraviolet radiation may produce skin cancer.
•Infrared radiation is another term for heat. Infrared radiation
is used to treat strained muscles and tissue. Infrared radiation is
also used to diagnose tumours. This works because a tumour
emits more infrared radiation than healthy tissue does. This
radiation can be detected on a thermogram - a photograph
taken using infrared radiation.
The frequency (v) of a wave is the number of waves to cross a
point in 1 second (units are Hertz – cycles/sec or sec -1)
λ is the wavelength- the distance from crest to crest on a wave
The product of wavelength and frequency always equals the speed

of light (c ).
C = λf
NOTE:
c is a constant value= 3.00 x 108 m/s
SAMPLE PROBLEM:
1. Calculate the wavelength of yellow light emitted from a sodium lamp if the
frequency is 5.10 x 1014 Hz
(5.10 x 1014 s-1)
Given: (List the known info) List the unknown

c = 3.00 x 10 8 cm/s wavelength (λ) = ? cm
Frequency (f) = 5.10 x 1014 s-1
C = λv λ = c/v
λ = 3.00 x 10 8 cm/s = 5.88 x 10-5 cm
5.10 x 1014 s-1
Calculating Wavelengths of Radio Waves
Sample problem:
1. Calculate the wavelengths of the ff:
a. 1530-kHz AM radio signal
b. 105.1-MHz FM radio signal
c. 1.90-GHz cell phone signal.
NOTE:
The relationship between wavelength and frequency is c=fλ, where c=3.00×10 8 m/s is the
speed of light (the speed of light is only very slightly smaller in air than it is in a vacuum).
We can rearrange this equation to find the wavelength for all three frequencies.
Solution:
Rearranging gives λ=c/f
SOLUTION:

To add or subtract numbers that have exponents you must first
make sure that the base and exponent of the two terms you are
trying to add or subtract are the same.
First, multiply the bases together. Then, add the

exponent. Instead of adding the two exponents
together, keep it the same.
To divide them, you take the exponent value in the numerator (the top
exponent) and subtract the exponent value of the denominator (the
bottom exponent).
