Activity Solve the following questions:

1. What is an electromagnetic wave?

Electromagnetic waves are the combination of waves in electric and magnetic fields produced

by moving charges. That is, what ripples in electromagnetic waves are electric and magnetic

fields.

2. What are the parameters in an electromagnetic wave?

1-The frequency: defines the number of waves that are transmitted in one second.

2-The speed: as we said it is always the same since it is independent of the frequency. This

speed is equal to the speed of light (300,000 kilometers per second).

3-The wavelength: which is the result of dividing the speed of propagation (the speed of

light) by the frequency. The result is expressed in meters

3. What is electrical permittivity 𝜺 and magnetic permeability 𝝁 of a medium?

The permittivity or improperly dielectric constant is a physical constant that describes how

an electric field affects and is affected by a medium.

 Magnetic permeability is the ability of a substance or medium to attract and pass through

magnetic fields, which is given by the relationship between the existing magnetic induction

and the intensity of the magnetic field that appears inside said material.
