EMWaves Electric Charge and Field Basics Fundamental charges are carried by electrons (negative) and protons (positive). Charge on the electron is 1.6 x 10-19 C Charge on the proton is + 1.6 x 10-19 C Like sign charges repel, opposite sign charges attract Ability to exert electric forces on other charges is represented by the electric field of the charge Direction of the electric field is that same as the direction of the electric force that would be exerted on a positive charge when placed in the electric field Away from positive + - Toward negative Electric Charge and Field Basics Fundamental charges are carried by electrons (negative) and protons (positive). Charge on the electron is 1.6 x 10-19 C Charge on the proton is + 1.6 x 10-19 C -19 e = 1.6 x 10 C Called the elemental charge Current and Magnetic Field Basics A moving charge is called a current Moving charges have the ability to exert a second type of force on other moving charges. This force is called a magnetic force. Ability to exert magnetic forces on other charges is represented by the magnetic field of the current Direction of the magnetic field is determined by a Right Hand Rule (will not be used in this course) <a href="/keyword/electromagnetic-wave/" >electromagnetic wave</a> Basics If a charge is made to jiggle (or more appropriately accelerate) it will produce a varying electric field. If the charge oscillates with a regular period, it will produce an oscillating electric field, with all the characteristics of a wave. Charge v <a href="/keyword/electromagnetic-wave/" >electromagnetic wave</a> Basics Faraday's Law: A changing magnetic field will create an electric field. The direction of the electric field will be perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field. Maxwell's Proposal: A changing electric field will create a magnetic field. The direction of the magnetic field will be perpendicular to the direction of the electric field. <a href="/keyword/electromagnetic-wave/" >electromagnetic wave</a> Basics James C. Maxwell (1831 1879): In 1864 presented a theory which combined both of these effects into one entity called the <a href="/keyword/electromagnetic-wave/" >electromagnetic wave</a> . Since one field was "created" by the other, there was no need for a medium in Maxwell's version of electromagnetic theory. In order to conserve energy, Maxwell calculated that ALL <a href="/keyword/electromagnetic-waves/" ><a href="/keyword/electromagnetic-wave/" >electromagnetic wave</a> s</a> travel at the same wave speed, 3 x 108 m/sec. 8 <a href="/keyword/electromagnetic-wave/" >electromagnetic wave</a> Basics Special Property of EM waves: * The can be created in and move though a vacuum * No medium is required for an EM wave to exist. * EM waves are the only wave phenomena that can exist without a medium <a href="/keyword/electromagnetic-wave/" >electromagnetic wave</a> Basics <a href="/keyword/electromagnetic-wave/" >electromagnetic wave</a> Basics <a href="/keyword/electromagnetic-wave/" >electromagnetic wave</a> phenomena * X-Rays * Radio Waves * Microwaves * Ultraviolet (UV) waves * Infrared (IR) waves * Light <a href="/keyword/electromagnetic-wave/" >electromagnetic wave</a> Basics The Electromagnetic Spectrum Wavelength in meters 10000 1 .0001 10-8 10-12 Radio Microwave IR UV X-Ray <a href="/keyword/electromagnetic-wave/" >electromagnetic wave</a> Basics The Electromagnetic Spectrum Wavelength in meters 10000 1 .0001 10-8 10-12 The Visible Window <a href="/keyword/electromagnetic-wave/" >electromagnetic wave</a> Basics The Electromagnetic Spectrum The range of wavelengths detectible by the average human eye Shortest detectible wavelength F 400 mn Longest detectible wavelength F 700 mn <a href="/keyword/electromagnetic-wave/" >electromagnetic wave</a> Basics Transparency of the Earth's Atmosphere Wavelength in meters 10000 1 .0001 10-8 10-12 Very transparent Partially transparent <a href="/keyword/electromagnetic-wave/" >electromagnetic wave</a> Basics Transparency of the Earth's Atmosphere Wavelength in meters 10000 1 .0001 10-8 10-12 Radio Microwave IR UV X-Ray Very transparent Partially transparent <a href="/keyword/electromagnetic-wave/" >electromagnetic wave</a> Basics Transparency of the Earth's Atmosphere Wavelength in meters 10000 1 .0001 10-8 10-12 Radio Microwave IR UV X-Ray Very transparent Partially transparent <a href="/keyword/electromagnetic-wave/" >electromagnetic wave</a> Basics Transparency of the Earth's Atmosphere Implications: Earth based astronomy is based upon the receipt and analysis of <a href="/keyword/electromagnetic-waves/" ><a href="/keyword/electromagnetic-wave/" >electromagnetic wave</a> s</a> .
