Electromagnetic Waves and the Nature & Propagation of Light
WHAT I HAVE LEARNED
Electronic magnetic waves are TRANSVERSE waves with a wide range of properties and uses. EM waves can travel not only
through air and solid materials, but also through VACUUM of space. Electromagnetic waves can be separated into seven distinct
groups in the SPECTRUM. The behavior of an electromagnetic wave in a substance depends on its WAVELENGTH or FREQUENCY
. Maxwell’s calculation of the speed of an electromagnetic wave included two important constants: the PERMEABILITY and
PERMITTIVITY of free space. The speed of an electromagnetic wave comes directily from a fundamental consideration of
ELECTRICITY and MAGNETISM

LABEL NAME DESCRIPTION


1 Incident ray It is a ray of light that strikes a surface
2 Normal line Situated perpendicularly at the point of incidence to the surface
3 Reflected ray It is a ray that points in the direction that the reflected waves are traveling
4 Refracted ray Ray that points towards the direction where refracted waves are travelling
5 Angle of incidence An angle between the normal line and the refracted ray
6 Angle of reflection It is the angle between the reflected ray and the normal line
7 angle of refraction The angle between the refracted ray and the normal line
8 Point of incidence It is the point where the incident ray strikes the boundary
