Electromagnetic Waves, Second Edition Carlo G. Someda
Publisher: CRC Press

They have a wavelength of about 4.8 inches--about the width of your head. Leaving aside the fundamental nature of electromagnetic waves, he directed his attention to the distance over which they could be detected with the possibility in mind that they might be used in a telegraph. The first type of wave is a transverse wave. This book covers many different wave systems, such as waves on a string, on a membrane, in solids, in fluids, on a liquid surface, and electromagnetic waves. We are SURROUNDED by electromagnetic waves emitted by innumerable sources every second of the day. If you can read this, you are being exposed to electromagnetic waves. It also covers the many aspects of waves. The second type is a longitudinal wave. Microwaves are on the low energy end of the spectrum, second only to radio waves. Measures and Units of Electromagnetic Radiation The distance between peaks in . Griffiths, David J., Introduction to Electrodynamics, 2nd edition, Prentice Hall, Englewood Cliffs, NJ, 1989. Electromagnetic radiation is a transverse wave; the displacement from equilibrium is perpendicular to the direction of travel.
