Electromagnetic Wave
How are they formed?
Electromagnetic
waves are formed
when an electric field
couples with a
magnetic field.
Electromagnetic Wave
Kind of Wave
Magnetic and electric fields
of an electromagnetic wave
are perpendicular to each
other and to the direction of
the wave. Thus, EM waves
are TRANVERSE WAVE.
Electromagnetic Wave
Sometimes behave as
a particle (called a
photon), which
explains how light
travels in straight
lines.
WAVE SPEED, •All Electromagnetic
wave has a speed
FREQUENCY, of in vacuum which
AND is denoted as c, the
WAVELENGTH speed of light.
 v=λf
WAVE SPEED, Where:
v is the wave speed, or c
FREQUENCY, (speed of light) expressed in
AND meters per second,
f is the frequency
WAVELENGTH expressed in Hertz and;
λ is the wavelength
expressed in meters.
 The frequency is
WAVE SPEED, inversely
FREQUENCY, proportional to
AND the wavelength
WAVELENGTH given that the
speed is constant.
