Properties of electromagnetic waves• Maxwell’s equations imply that in an electromagnetic wave,
both the electric and magnetic fields are perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave, and to each other.
• In an electromagnetic wave, there is a definite ratio between the magnitudes of the electric and magnetic fields: E = cB.
• Unlike mechanical waves, electromagnetic waves require no medium. In fact, they travel in vacuum with a definite and unchanging speed:
• Inserting the numerical values of these constants, we obtain c = 3.00 × 108 m/s.
Properties of electromagnetic waves
• The direction of propagation of an electromagnetic wave is the direction of the vector product of the electric and magnetic fields.
The Poyting VectorUnits are Flux (w/m2)
Energy in electromagnetic waves• Electromagnetic waves such as
those we have described are traveling waves that transport energy from one region to another.
• The British physicist John Poynting introduced the Poynting vector
• The magnitude of the Poyntingvector is the power per unit area in the wave, and it points in the direction of propagation.

Energy in electromagnetic waves
• The magnitude of the average value of is called the intensity. The SI unit of intensity is 1 W/m2.
• These rooftop solar panels are tilted to be face-on to the sun so that the panels can absorb the maximum amount of wave energy.

A simple plane electromagnetic wave• To begin our study of
electromagnetic waves, imagine that all space is divided into two regions by a plane perpendicular to the x-axis.
• At every point to the left of this plane there are uniform electric field magnetic fields as shown.
• The boundary plane, which we call the wave front, moves in the +x-direction with a constant speed c.

Gauss’s laws and the simple plane wave• Shown is a Gaussian
surface, a rectangular box, through which the simple plane wave is traveling.
• The box encloses no electric charge.
• In order to satisfy Maxwell’s first and second equations, the electric and magnetic fields must be perpendicular to the direction of propagation; that is, the wave must be transverse.
Faraday’s law and the simple plane wave
• The simple plane wave must satisfyFaraday’s law in a vacuum.
• In a time dt, the magnetic flux through the rectangle in the xy-plane increases by an amount dΦB.
• This increase equals the flux through the shaded rectangle with area ac dt; that is, dΦB = Bac dt.
• Thus dΦB/dt = Bac.
• This and Faraday’s law imply:
Ampere’s law and the simple plane wave
• The simple plane wave must satisfy Ampere’s law in a vacuum.
• In a time dt, the electric flux through the rectangle in the xz-plane increases by an amount dΦE.
• This increase equals the flux through the shaded rectangle with area ac dt; that is, dΦE = Eac dt.
• Thus dΦE/dt = Eac. This implies E=Bc:
Sinusoidal electromagnetic waves• Electromagnetic waves
produced by an oscillating point charge are an example of sinusoidal waves that are not plane waves.
• But if we restrict our observations to a relatively small region of space at a sufficiently great distance from the source, even these waves are well approximated by plane waves.
Fields of a sinusoidal wave
• We can describe electromagnetic waves by means of wave functions:
• The wave travels to the right with speed c = ω/k.
• The amplitudes must be related by:

Electromagnetic waves in matter• Electromagnetic waves can travel in certain types of matter,
such as air, water, or glass. • When electromagnetic waves travel in nonconducting
materials—that is, dielectrics—the speed v of the waves depends on the dielectric constant of the material.
• The ratio of the speed c in vacuum to the speed v in a material is known in optics as the index of refraction n of the material.

Electromagnetic radiation pressure• Electromagnetic waves carry momentum and can
therefore exert radiation pressure on a surface:
• At surface of Earth - SAV ~1000 w/m2
• Above atmosphere - SAV ~1361w/m2
• For example, if the solar panels on an earth-orbiting satellite are perpendicular to the sunlight, and the radiation iscompletely absorbed, the average radiation pressure is 4.7 × 10−6 N/m2.
Standing electromagnetic waves• Electromagnetic waves can be reflected by a conductor or
dielectric, which can lead to standing waves.
• As time elapses, the pattern does not move along the x-axis; instead, at every point the electric and magnetic field vectors simply oscillate.
Standing waves in a cavity
• A typical microwave oven sets up a standing electromagnetic wave with λ = 12.2 cm, a wavelength that is strongly absorbed by the water in food.
• Because the wave has nodes spaced λ/2 = 6.1 cm apart, the food must be rotated while cooking.
• Otherwise, the portion that lies at a node—where the electric-field amplitude is zero—will remain cold.
Visible light – Red-Green-Blue
Visible light• Visible light is the segment of the
electromagnetic spectrum that we can see.
• Visible light extends from the violet end (400 nm) to the red end (700 nm).

Ultraviolet Light and VisionOur colors looks quite different
• Many insects and birds can see ultraviolet wavelengths that humans cannot.
• As an example, the left-hand photo shows how black-eyed Susans look to us.
• The right-hand photo (in false color), taken with an ultraviolet-sensitive camera, shows how these same flowers appear to the bees that pollinate them.
• Note the prominent central spot that is invisible to humans.
