FORMS OF EM WAVES
F O C U S 1. DESCRIBE THE FORMS OF
PO I N T ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES
AND THEIR PROPERTIES
2. LIST AND COMPARE
DIFFERENT TYPES OF EM
WAVES
3. DESCRIBE HOW
ELECTROMAGNETIC
SPECTRUM IS ARRANGED
 WHO IS HE?
he is a Scottish physicist with
broad interests who developed a
mathematical theory that
defines the relationship between
electricity and magnetism.
JAMES CLARK MAXWELL
 THEO
RIES
MAXWELL’S ELECTROMAGNETIC !!
EQUATION
Oscillating or alternating of electric current
can radiate energy through electromagnetic
waves that move as fast as the speed of light.
 WHO IS HE?
He is a German physicist. Hertz carried
out experimental confirmation of
Maxwell's electromagnetic equation due
to his discovery of Herzian waves (radio
waves)
HEINRICH HERTZ
ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES
Consists of oscillating electric
and magnetic forces that move
perpendicular to each other as
they travel through space.
Type of traveling electric and
magnetic waves emitted by
accelerating electric charges
that are usually from the
electrons of atoms.
