Basic Properties Of Electromagnetic Waves

Question 1

PROPERTY 1

Answer 1

Electromagnetic waves are transverse in nature

Question 2

PROPERTY 2

Answer 2

They propagate by varying electric and magnetic fields,

Question 3

PROPERTY 3

Answer 3

Electromagnetic wares are travel with a constant velocity in vacuum, the speed of the wave is 3x10 ⁸ m/s

Question 4

PROPERTY 4

Answer 4

Electromagnetic waves travel are non mechanical waves, they do not required any material medium for propagation.

Question 5

PROPERTY 5

Answer 5

They obey the equation C=f dental here, F is the frequency is hertz and denta is the wavelength and meters the product of wavelength.

Question 6

PROPERTY 6

Answer 6

The oscillating electric field and magnetic are in the some phase, the ratio of the amplitude of the electric field and the magnetic is equal to the velocity of the wave
