Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves that can travel through air, solid materials, and vacuum. They come in a wide range of properties and uses and can be categorized into different types of spectra based on their wavelength or frequency. Maxwell's equations showed that the speed of electromagnetic waves depends on the permeability and permittivity of free space. Light behaves differently when it interacts with surfaces based on angles of incidence, reflection, and refraction.

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
