Introduction
In the Transverse Electric and Magnetic (TEM) mode, both the electric field and the
magnetic field (which are always perpendicular to one another in free space) are
transverse to the direction of travel. If you wonder how this is possible, bear in mind
that it is happening in three-dimensional space.
In the Transverse Electric (TE) mode, the electric field is transverse to the direction of
propagation while the magnetic field is normal to the direction of propagation.
In the Transverse Magnetic (TM) mode, the magnetic field is transverse to the
direction of propagation while the electric field is normal to the direction of
propagation.[ CITATION Dav15 \l 3082 ]
2. What does it mean to polarize an electromagnetic wave?
Answer:
La polarización de la onda electromagnética se define como la trayectoria descrita por
la componente vectorial de campo eléctrico en su propagación, de manera que
mantenga la ortogonalidad respecto a la componente vectorial de campo magnético.
Podemos tener los siguientes tipos de polarización:
sin ( i^ ) v 1
= =n2,1
sin ( r^ ) v 2
Siendo n 2,1 , el índice de refracción del segundo medio respecto al primero, una
constante adimensional.
5. What is the purpose of Snell's Law in the study of the propagation of waves?
Answer:
La ley de Snell fue descubierta experimentalmente en 1621 por el científico holandés
Willebrord Snel van Royen (1580 - 1626), más comunmente conocido como Snell. Fue
Huygens quien dio una explicación a esta ley experimental, permitiéndonos así
deducirla a partir del principio de Huygens.
Snell’s law defines the refraction angle corresponding to the transmitted wave. Thus,
depending on the physical properties of each medium, the transmitted wave can be
refracted either towards the vertical or towards the horizontal.
Snell’s law is then used to characterize the refraction angle in terms of the complex
wavenumber for both media.

2. An electromagnetic wave of f =¿ MHz and P+¿=120
1 , coming from a wave
generator located 12 cm from the wall, which impinges from the air ( η1 =120 π Ω )
perpendicularly on a wall with an intrinsic impedance η2=CCC Ω and 20 cm thick.
The wall is made of a non-magnetic and non-dissipative material. On the other
side of the wall is a receiver located 20cm away.
Initially the ray travels through the ice layer striking the air layer at point B, forming
an angle of θa =44,9 ° . Using Snell's Law, calculate step by step the total path of the
wave to determine the value of "d". Note that each layer is CCC mm thick and that at
point C there is a total refractive effect, so it is necessary to identify which material is
in layer 3 by calculating its refractive index.
Answer:
Conclusions
Conclusion 1:
Conclusion 2:
The conclusions should be written with their own words and should focus on the
concepts explored, learned, discovered and practiced in the development of the
activity, it is suggested to present a conclusion by topic, the result of learning
obtained as evidence of conceptual assimilation.
To obtain a good writing it is suggested to read the written several times, correcting
and adjusting the text until obtaining a clear and coherent postulate. Avoid
superficiality and simplicity.
