ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES In 20 Minutes || Complete Chapter For JEE Main/Advanced

JEE Wallah2 minutes read

Children are welcomed to Physics Valhalla by Himanshu Gupta for a Mind Map session on Electro Magnetic Waves, covering properties, displacement current, and Maxwell's equations. The chapter explains how electromagnetic waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields in vacuum, with energy proportional to field strengths and wave propagation determined by the fields' cross product.

Insights

  • Maxwell's equations combine existing laws to explain how accelerating electric and magnetic fields create electromagnetic waves, showcasing the interconnected nature of these fundamental concepts in physics.
  • Electromagnetic waves exhibit perpendicular electric and magnetic fields, with their energy distributed equally between these fields, highlighting the balanced and intertwined relationship that defines the propagation and behavior of these waves.

"Electromagnetic Field Energy, Intensity, and Momentum"

  • The energy of the electric field is given by van by four x van not in not square, while the energy of the magnetic field is van by four m note square by 2. The speed of a wave in a vacuum is determined by omega by k or e0 / v0, with the ratio of e0/v0 equal to 1 / √μ knot/μ.
  • Intensity, defined as energy per unit area per unit time, is half epsilon not a not square in C or be not square C / 2 m note. Radiation pressure, exerted when electromagnetic force collides with an object, is equal to intensity upon speed of light, with completely reflected pressure being 2i/c. Electromagnetic waves carry momentum defined as unit energy density upon C, indicating the direction and energy propagation, calculated as A cross B divided by μ0.
