Applications of electromagnetic radiation

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding a comprehensive book about the applications of electromagnetic radiation, particularly focusing on radio antennas while also covering other applications like X-rays and microwave ovens. The desired book should include equations and be suitable for a second-year physics student at a UK university. Participants highlight the vast number of applications of electromagnetic radiation and inquire about specific resources, including synchrotron light sources. There is a call for recommendations on books that encompass various applications and their practical uses. The conversation emphasizes the importance of electromagnetic radiation in numerous devices and technologies.

I’m searching for a book about the applications of electromagnetic radiation. A more specific topic I’m interested in is radio antennas but I’m searching for a book concerning more than 3 different applications (eg X-rays, microwave ovens and radio antennas). It should include equations and the difficulty should be appropriate for a 2nd year physics student (at a UK university). I’d be happy with any appropriate suggestion.

Thanks, ZapperZ.
Could you please post a link about any specific application of synchrotron light sources?
Also could you suggest any book about this and other applications of electromagnetic radiation?
 
I wonder if you can think of any useful device that doesn't use electromagnetic radiation in some form. The number of applications of electromagnetic radiation are enormous.

I agree with that but could you please propose any specific book about any application?
 
Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
