lesson 3 Flashcards
Are periodic changes in electric and magnetic fields which
propagate through space
ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES
Are right angle to each other and right angle to the directions
of travel
ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES
ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES EXAMPLE
❖ Radio waves
❖ Microwaves
❖ Infrared-radiation
❖ Visible lights
❖ Ultraviolet rays
❖ Gamma ray
ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM
Is the orderly distribution of electromagnetic waves
according to their frequencies or wavelengths in the
form separate groups having widely differing
properties
Are generally emitted by electronic devices
RADIO WAVES
radio waves are used for
Television Broadcasting
Mobile Radio Communication
Radio Navigation
Radio Astronomy
these waves are emitted by electronic devices such
as magnetron
➢they can be detected with a crystal detectors or
solid state detect
MICROWAVE
simply the number of times a particular
phenomenon occurs in a given period of time
FREQUENCY
that portion of the electromagnetic spectrum
occupied by a signal.
➢It is also a frequency range over which an
information signal is transmitted or over which a
receiver or other electronic circuit
BANDWIDTH
Is used to describe the range of frequencies
required to transmit the desired information
CHANNEL BANDWIDTH
Research for the specific channel with
corresponding frequency allocations of the
following:
➢ AM Radio
➢ FM Radio
➢ Television Broadcasting
➢ Telecommunication
