About Electromagnetic Waves

Electromagnetic waves are oscillations of electric and magnetic fields that travel through space at the speed of light. They include radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.

Key Formulas:

  • c = λf - Wave speed
  • E = hf - Photon energy
  • E = hc/λ - Energy from wavelength

Units:

  • Wavelength: m, nm, μm
  • Frequency: Hz, kHz, MHz, GHz
  • Speed: m/s, km/s
  • Energy: J, eV

Applications:

  • Radio, TV, and wireless communication
  • Optics and lasers
  • Medical imaging (X-rays, MRI)
  • Remote sensing and astronomy
  • Solar energy and photovoltaics
