Question

Write any 6 property of electromagnetic waves

Answer 1

Dear student,

Properties of electrmagnetic waves

1. electrmagnetic waves are produced by aceelerated charges

2.the electric and magnetic field are in phase with eavch other at any instant of time

3.they transport energy and momentum

4.the energy carried by the electromagnetic wave is equally shared between electric and magnetic fields

5.the ratio of magnitute of electric field(E) to that of the magnetic field(B) is equal to the sped of propogation (c )

ie E / B = c

6.the intensity of the electromagmetic wave is given by I = E₀ c E ² _RMS where E ² _RMS is root mean square value of electric field and E₀ is permittivity of free space
