Activity Guide and Evaluation Rubric - Unit 1 - Task 1 - Electromagnetic Waves in Open Media
1. Activity Description
In the video, use the camera, always show your face, and expose the development of the
work using the delivery format. At the beginning of the video, clearly show your
identification document for 4 seconds by hiding the number. Use a video server (YouTube,
Loom, etc.) in non-public mode and create a link that you must attach in the delivery
format. If the student does not use the camera or does not identify himself
correctly, the video will not be accepted.

Step 7: In the 3 days before the closing of the activity, submit their final work in PDF
format in the Evaluation Environment.
Step 8: Each student, within the development of the current period, must participate in
an international event, free or paid, related to her study program. As evidence you must
present in the final activity "Post task" the certificate of participation and the summary of
at least 3 presentations of the event, each summary must use 1 sheet and its value will
be 20 points.
Activity
For the development of this activity, explore in the Knowledge Environment, in “Unit 1”,
the bibliographical reference of Chen, W. (2005), on pages 513-519, supplement with the
aids generated by the tutor within the forum, to solve the following questions and
application exercises:
Application exercise:
The following 4-step exercise describes the method to characterize an electromagnetic
wave when propagating in an open medium, for which, each student must choose 1
propagation media of the proposed in Table 1 and announce it within the “Task 1” forum
to avoid repetition.
1. Calculate the tangent of losses Tan (δ) and the angle of losses δ of the medium
chosen in Table 1, if through it travel an electromagnetic wave E of frequency 𝑓 =
(𝐶𝐶𝐶 + 20)𝑀𝐻𝑧. Note that 𝐶𝐶𝐶 are the last 3 digits of your identification
number:

𝜎 𝜎
𝑇𝑎𝑛(𝛿) = =
𝜔𝜀 2𝜋𝑓εr ε𝑜
2. According to the result obtained in point 1, classify the behavior of the chosen medium
according to one of the five options in Table 2:
3. According to the classification obtained in point 2 and using Table 3 shown below,
calculate the following propagation parameters of the wave in the chosen medium:
a. Propagation constant (gamma).
b. Attenuation constant (Alpha).
c. Phase constant (Beta).

Attention, for the calculations:
1. Replace your values (with units) in the equation.
2. Write the answer with your units.
3. Perform the operation on a virtual scientific calculator. *
4. Paste the calculator image into the report.
If the image is not included, the exercise rating is 0 points.
* You can use https://www.geogebra.org/scientific
4. According to the results obtained in point 3 and using the following equations,
calculate the propagation characteristics of the wave in the chosen medium:
a. Propagation speed 𝒗𝒑 .
b. Wavelength 𝝀.
c. The penetration depth of the 𝜹𝒑 wave in the medium.
Interpretation: According to the concepts explored, explain in your own words the
meaning and the result obtained for: 𝑉𝑝 , 𝜆 and 𝛿𝑝 .
For the development of the activity consider that:
In the Initial Information Environment, you must:
1. Permanently review the "Course News" forum, where the course director shares
important information.
In the Learning Environment, you must:
1. Download the activity guide and the delivery format for “Task 1”.
2. Explore the activity guide and follow the instructions.
3. Optionally, share your questions in the "Task 1" forum.
In the Evaluation Environment, you must:
1. In the 3 days before the closing of the activity, you must submit their final work.

2. General Guidelines for the Development of Evidences to Submit
Please keep in mind that all individual or collaborative written products must comply with
the spelling rules and presentation conditions defined in this activity guide.
Regarding the use of references, consider that the product of this activity must comply
with APA style.
In any case, make sure you comply with the rules and avoid academic plagiarism. You can
review your written products using the Turnitin tool found in the virtual campus.
Under the Academic Code of Conduct, the actions that infringe the academic order, among
others, are the following: paragraph e) Plagiarism is to present as your own work all or
part of a written report, task or document of invention carried out by another person. It
also implies the use of citations or lack of references, or it includes citations where there is
no match between these and the reference and paragraph f) To reproduce, or copy for
profit, educational resources or results of research products, which have rights reserved
for the University. (Acuerdo 029 - 13 de diciembre de 2013, artículo 99)
The academic penalties students will face are:
a) In case of academic fraud demonstrated in the academic work or evaluation, the score
obtained will be zero (0.0) without any disciplinary measures being derived.
b) In case of proven plagiarism in academic work of any nature, the score obtained will be
zero (0.0), without any disciplinary measures being derived.
