1. Explain the practical application of the loss tangent with an example.
R/
loss tangent
R/
In the free space the electromagnetic waves have an excellent behavior
since they propagate without any opposition, this makes that their power
does not diminish, which causes that they propagate very far, an example of
this is the visible light that we can detect that comes from other galaxies that
are millions of light years away, in the perfect dialects has a similar
behavior, without attenuation if it occurs due to the polarization of the
molecules of the material, this affects the electromagnetic wave, and in the
good conditions the waves they are not able to pass through them, they
behave as insulators due to the flow of electrons in these materials.

5. What is the refraction index and what kind of information give us about the
electromagnetic waves behavior?
R/
The index of refraction is the quotient of the speed of light in the vacuum
and the speed of light in the medium whose index is calculated and gives us
information about the trajectory of the incident wave
6. What is a plane wave and a non-plane wave and where are they used?
What is a magnetic and a nonmagnetic medium and where are they used?
Why do we use plane waves to explain practical models associated to
electromagnetic phenomenon?
R/
Is a wave of constant frequency whose wave fronts (surfaces with constant phase)
are parallel planes of constant amplitude normal to the vector phase velocity,
A magnetic medium is a device that allows to store information using waves, they
are used to store information. Flat waves are used because they are easier to
analyze.
