 Solution of the questions

Activity
Solve the following questions:
1. What is an electromagnetic wave?
Electromagnetic ware it is the simultaneous disturbance of the electric and
magnetic fields affected in the same region that discovered the
electromagnetic waves was Maxwell, these waves do not need a material
means to propagate, therefore they propagate in the vacuum at a constant
speed, the waves electromagnetic are the support of telecommunications,
these can be ordered in a spectrum that extends from very large waves to very
small waves, all electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum at a speed of
300000 km.
2. What are the parameters in an electromagnetic wave?
Electromagnetic waves travel with a VELOCITY of 300 000 km/sec. The
FREQUENCY of radio waves (oscillations per second) can be between 100 000
Hz and 300 000 000 Hz (100 kHz to 300 MHz). KEEP IN MIND there is a
MINIMUM FREQUENCY of at least 30 kHz, only oscillations above this minimum
are propagated. The AMPLITUDE is the maximum amount of electric field or
magnetic field reached per one cycle. Electromagnetic waves have obviously
two components the electric and the magnetic part, both are positioned at 90°
to each other. After leaving the aerial the direction of both components is not
changed, this means, we will receive the same waves under the same direction
as they are transmitted. The way how the waves are produced (concerning the
direction of the components) is called their POLARISATION! Knowing this fact,
we can easily understand why the reception can be improved by the direction
of the aerial.
3. What is electrical permittivity ε and magnetic permeability μ of a medium?
What is electrical permittivity: in electromagnetism an electric displacement
field D is defined, which represents how an electric field E will influence the
environment, for example, redistribution of dipoles. The relationship of both
fields (for linear means) with the permittivity is D=ε∗E where ε is a scalar if
the medium is [isotropic] or 3 by 3 matrix in other cases. The permittivity, can
take real or complex values. Generally it is not a constant since it can vary
with the position in the medium, the frequency of the applied field, the
humidity or the temperature, among other parameters. In a non-lineal
medium, the permittivity may depend on the magnitude of the electric field.
Magnetic permeability μ of a medium: the magnetic permeability μ is a
constant parameter that depends on the medium. The permeability of the
medium can be defined as the measure of its ability to establish magnetic flux
lines, that is, the larger the permeability of the medium, the greater the
number of flux lines per unit area.
4. From the following wave equation:

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.
