Can diff. EM frequencies create diff. magnetic fields with diff. properties ?

AI Thread Summary
Different electromagnetic (EM) frequencies can influence the properties of magnetic fields, but magnetic fields themselves are fundamental and do not possess varying properties based on frequency. Electromagnetism links electricity and magnetism, and while EM waves have different wavelengths and frequencies, this variation does not imply that magnetic fields exist at different wavelengths. Instead, the characteristics of EM waves depend on the rate of change of the magnetic field's magnitude. Ultimately, while EM frequencies can affect the behavior of magnetic fields, the intrinsic nature of magnetic fields remains unchanged.

¿ Can diff. EM frequencies create diff. magnetic fields with diff. properties ?

I understand that a magnetic field is generated via moving charged particles . Electricity and magnetism are linked through electromagnetism . Electromagnetism can be in different wavelengths and frequencies but does this mean that magnetism and magnetic fields are at different wavelengths ? I know magnetic fields aren't waves but can different electromagnetic frequencies generate different magnetic fields with different properties ?

NO magnetic field is Fundamental in nature. It can't have diffrent properties.

EMW have diffrent wavelength and properties because they depend on *THE RATE OF CHANGE OF MAGNITUDE MAGNETIC FIELD* not on the properties of magnetic field
 
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...
It may be shown from the equations of electromagnetism, by James Clerk Maxwell in the 1860’s, that the speed of light in the vacuum of free space is related to electric permittivity (ϵ) and magnetic permeability (μ) by the equation: c=1/√( μ ϵ ) . This value is a constant for the vacuum of free space and is independent of the motion of the observer. It was this fact, in part, that led Albert Einstein to Special Relativity.
