argh hello guys, I've been trying to find out a simple answer to this question but all the resources I've looked at seem to skim over it or contradict each other, but simply:
Do electromagnetic waves have a variable amplitude? "Intensity" is not necisarilly the same, if you're using the...
Hi,
My question:
Explain how an electromagnetic wave is produced?
My Answer
A charged particle produces an electric field. the electric field exerts a force charged particles. Positive charges accelerate in the direction of the field and negative charges accelerate in the direction...
hi guys i had a quick question about EM waves
given EM traveling west, B field oscilates vertically and has f= 80,000 Hz and a rms strength of 6.75e-9 T what are the frequency and rms strength of electric field and what direction...
so for direction i have it...
Please link me to threads that may already discuss this because i do not really know what to search for when i use the word substance.
I neglect to use the word matter because matter in physics world means mass
and i neglect to use the word particles because in physics world they usualy...
Suppose a 50-kW radio station emits EM waves uniformly in all directions (a) How much energy per second crosses a 1.0m^2 area 100m from the transmitting antenna? (b) What is the rms magnitude of the E field at this point, assuming the station is operating at full power? (c) What is the voltage...
Hiya,
Given that the electric field vector of an EM wave is described as:
E=E_0[1+\cos(\Omega t)]\cos(\omega t)
How would one go about finding the energy carried by this wave? On another note, what's the actual frequency of the wave that can be used in E=hf ? Graphed in a CAS, this wave...
The similarities between the classical wave packet and the QM photon are striking. They both move at the group velocity. They both are subjected to an uncertainty principle. A classical wave packet is like a photon a region of concentrated energy, ...
So is a photon something like the...
i learned that EM wave is varying electric field and magnetic field .But what's the meaning of the amplitude of EM wave? The displacement of the photon or the magnitude of the electric/magnetic field(no. of photons)?
A simple question.
I though Maxwell said that :
1. The change of electric field generates magnetic field.
2. The change of Magnetic field generates Electric field.
So, simple algorithm tells me there shall be a 90 degree of phase difference between the peaks of E field and B...
What is Light?
What is Light? Is it a EM wave or a stream of photons? Is there any theory which can explain all the phenomena of light?
P.S.: Another question, What makes glass transparent?
Im not sure of this, but visible light is an EM wave just like radio waves are, right?
If I am right, does that mean mirrors reflect all ranges of EM waves, radio included? Also what is it about a mirror that reflects photons?

Hmmm... If U ∝ E2, E ∝ a and a ∝ ω, how can Uavg not be dependent on [b]ω ?
