 Solution of the questions

Activity
Solve the following questions:
1. What is an electromagnetic wave?
2. What are the parameters in an electromagnetic wave?
3. What is electrical permittivity ε and magnetic permeability μ of a medium?
4. From the following wave equation:

2π ^
(
E y ( x , t )= A sen ( wt−kx ) ^j = A sen 2 πft−
λ )
x j=C1 sen ( C 2 x 103 t−C 3 x ) ^j

where C 1 , C2 and C 3correspond to the last 3 digits of your identification.

Notice that in the equation:

A=C1

w=2 πf =C 2 x 10 3

2π
k= =C 3
