Electromagnetism Electromagnetic fields

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the relationship between angular frequency and wavelength in electromagnetic waves. It confirms that the angular frequency can be used to determine wavelength by rearranging the equations ω=2πf and c=λf. The formula E=hf, which relates energy to frequency, is acknowledged but noted as specific to photons. Participants agree that the equations can be applied to electromagnetic waves in general, not just photons. Overall, the connection between these fundamental equations is affirmed for understanding wave properties.

Hi all,
can the angular frequency of a electric waves be used to determine the wavelength using the following;
ω=2πf
rearranging for the frequency, and using the following;

E=hf=(hc/λ)

or can this formula no be used as it is dealing with photons?

yep, that's fine. all you're really doing is using the two equations: ##\omega = 2 \pi f## and ##c=\lambda f##.

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...
