    EM WAVES AND

    THEIR
    PROPERTIES
    ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES
    AND THEIR PROPERTIES
    OBJECTIVES
    • Cite evidence that electromagnetic radiation can be
    modeled as waves of changing electric and magnetic
    fields.
    • Evaluate evidence that electromagnetic radiation can be
    described as a wave model that is useful for describing
    some features of electromagnetic radiation.
    SUCCESS CRITERIA: I WILL BE
    ABLE TO
     Explain what electromagnetic waves are.
     Differentiate between mechanical and electromagnetic waves.
     Explain the phenomenon of diffraction.
     Use mathematical representations to support a claim regarding
    relationships among the frequency, wavelength and speed of
    waves traveling in various media.
     Communicate technical information about how some
    technological devices use the principle of wave behavior and
    wave interactions with matter to transmit and capture
    information and energy.
    ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES…
     Do not need matter to transfer energy.
    ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES…
     Do not need matter to transfer energy.
     Are made by vibrating electric charges and can travel through space by transferring energy
    between vibrating electric and magnetic fields.
    HOW DO MOVING CHARGES CREATE
    MAGNETIC FIELDS?
     Any moving electric charge is surrounded by an electric field and a
    magnetic field.
    ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES
    Electric charges move and vibrate.
    The movements and vibrations cause disturbances in the electric and magnetic fields.
    The disturbances generate electromagnetic waves.
    PROPERTIES OF EM WAVES
    Electric charges have both an electric field and magnetic field.
    The electric and magnetic fields are always perpendicular to each other.
    Both the electric and magnetic fields are always perpendicular to the direction of propagation.
    POLARIZATION
    The electric field of polarized light oscillates in a single orientation.
    The decrease in light intensity after polarization can be found by the equation:
    I = I0cos2(θ)

    WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ELECTRIC AND
    MAGNETIC FIELDS CHANGE?
     A changing magnetic field creates a changing electric field.
    WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ELECTRIC AND
    MAGNETIC FIELDS CHANGE?
     A changing magnetic field creates a changing electric field.
     One example of this is a transformer which transfers electric energy from one circuit to
    another circuit.

    MAGNETIC FIELDS CHANGE?
     A changing magnetic field creates a changing electric field.
     One example of this is a transformer which transfers electric energy
    from one circuit to another circuit.
     In the main coil changing electric current produces a changing magnetic
    field
     Which then creates a changing electric field in another coil producing an
    electric current
     The reverse is also true.
    MAKING ELECTROMAGNETIC
    WAVES
     When an electric charge vibrates, the electric field around it changes
    creating a changing magnetic field.
    MAKING ELECTROMAGNETIC
    WAVES
     The magnetic and electric fields create each other again and again.
    MAKING ELECTROMAGNETIC
    WAVES
     An EM wave travels in all directions. The figure only shows a wave
    traveling in one direction.
    PROPERTIES OF EM WAVES
     All matter contains charged particles that are always moving; therefore, all objects emit EM
    waves.
    PROPERTIES OF EM WAVES
     All matter contains charged particles that are always moving; therefore, all objects emit EM
    waves.
     The wavelengths become shorter as the temperature of the material increases.

    DIFFRACTION OF
    LIGHT?

    Diffraction is the phenomenon of spreading of


    the light wave when it passes through a slit or
    any small gap.
