The document discusses electromagnetic wave theory. It explains that electromagnetic waves are produced by vibrating electric and magnetic fields based on Maxwell's equations. The document then discusses key scientists like Maxwell, Faraday, Hertz and their contributions to understanding electromagnetic waves. It also discusses how electromagnetic waves can transfer energy and do not require a medium, traveling at the speed of light. Examples of applications of electromagnetic waves like radio, Wi-Fi, satellites, and medical imaging are provided.

13. What is Electromagnetic (EM) Wave?
Electromagnetic wave (EM wave) or
electromagnetic radiation is a wave that is
created as a result of vibrations between an
electric field and magnetic field, hence known
as “electromagnetic wave”.
14. Based on Oersted’s discovery: A changing
electric field produces magnetic field. A
changing magnetic field is therefore produced
around a vibrating charge. And according to
Michael Faraday, the changing magnetic field
will produce electric field.
15. A wave carries energy as it propagates, EM
wave does the same, too. EM waves can travel
through anything even on vacuum, meaning
they do not need any medium to travel. They
travel in a vacuum at a speed of 3.0 x 108 m/s.
16. A wave carries energy as it propagates, EM
wave does the same, too. EM waves can travel
through anything even on vacuum, meaning
they do not need any medium to travel. They
travel in a vacuum at a speed of 3.0 x 108 m/s
which is denoted by c, the speed of light.
17. The wave speed, frequency, and wavelength are
related by the following equation: v=λf
Where v is the wave speed, or c (speed of
light) expressed in meters per second (m/s),
the frequency (f) is expressed in Hertz and
the wavelength (λ) is expressed in meters.
19. Electromagnetic wave theory was given by
James Clerk Maxwell. The main points of
electromagnetic wave theory were : “When an
electrically charged particle moves under
acceleration, alternating electrical and
magnetic fields are produced and transmitted.
These fields are transmitted in the form of
waves”
20. The Electric and Magnetic Fields Together
Accelerating electrons produce electromagnetic
waves. These waves are a combination of electric
and magnetic fields. As accelerated electrons
produce an electric field of a wave, the varying
electric field produces the wave’s magnetic field.
Both the electric field and the magnetic field
oscillate perpendicular to each other and to the
direction of the propagating wave.

result of vibrations between an electric field and magnetic
field, they can be found in the following
machineries/technologies such as:
a. Radio, Cellphone and Television
b. Satellites
