• Displacement current(Id)
The current which is obtained due to the changing electric field is known as
displacement current. It acts as a source of magnetic field in exactly the same way as
conduction current does.
𝜎
• The electric field between the plates of the capacitor is given by 𝐸 = 𝜀
0
Where σ, is the surface charge density of the plates of the capacitor and q is the
charge on each plates of the capacitor.

)

𝑑∅𝐸
∮ 𝐵. 𝑑𝑙 = (𝜇0 𝐼𝑐 + 𝜀0 )
𝑑𝑡
This equation states that not only current but also the changing electric field
produce changing magnetic field. This equation is known as Ampere –Maxwell
circuital law.
𝑄
∮ 𝐸. 𝑑𝑆 =
𝑆 𝜀0
This equation states that the total electric flux through a closed surface is equal
1
to 𝜀 times the charge enclosed by the surface. It gives an idea that isolated charge
0
can exist and electric filed lines do not form continuous closed path.
∮ 𝐵. 𝑑𝑆 = 0
𝑆
This equation states that the magnetic flux through a closed surface is zero.
Ie, the net magnetic flux entering into a closed surface is equal to the net magnetic
flux leaving it. Or it says that magnetic monopoles don’t exist.
𝑑∅𝐵
∮ 𝐸. 𝑑𝑙 = −
𝑑𝑡
This equation correlates magnetic flux and electric field. It says that the induced
emf produced in the closed circuit is equal to negative of the rate of change of
magnetic flux through the circuit.
• Electromagnetic waves
Electromagnetic waves are those waves in which electric and magnetic field
vectors changes sinusoidally and are perpendicular to each other as well as at right
angles to the direction of propagation of the wave.
• Radio waves- These are em waves of frequency range 500 kHz to 1000 MHz
and wavelength ranges from 0.3m to 600m. It is produced by oscillating electric
circuits having inductor and capacitor or accelerating charged particles in a
conducting wire.
Used in radio and telecommunication systems like FM radio broadcasting, AM
broadcasting etc.
• Microwaves- This type of em wave has a frequency range of 109 Hz to 1012GHz
and wavelength ranges from 0.1m to1mm.Produced in special vacuum tubes,
Gunn diodes, Magnetron etc. Used in radar systems for air craft navigation,
cooking purposes , atomic and molecular research ,etc.
• Infrared waves- It is also known as heat waves, since it is produced by hot
bodies and molecules during their atomic vibration. It ranges from 10 11Hz to 1014
Hz wavelength ranges from 1mm to 700nm.. Used to produce dehydrated fruits,
in green houses to keep plant warm, in solar water heater and cookers, used in
photography etc.
• Visible light- It is the narrow region of electromagnetic spectrum, which is
detected by human eye. It’s frequency ranges from 4 ×10 14 Hz to 7 ×10 14Hz
and wavelength ranges from 400nm to 780nm. It is produced during the
transition of electron from higher orbit to lower orbit of an atom. Used in
photography, astronomy, source of energy for human life.
• Ultraviolet light- It is produced by stars, welding arc, high voltage gas discharge
tube etc. It’s frequency ranges from 10 14 Hz to 10 17 Hz and wavelength ranges
from 380mm to 0.6mm. The UV rays coming from the sun are mostly absorbed
by ozone layer in the earth’s atmosphere. Used in the study of molecular
structure, in surgical instruments to destroy bacteria, preservation of food, used
in burglar alarms etc.
• X- Rays- It was discovered by Roentgen. It’s frequency ranges from 1018 Hz to
10 20Hz and wavelength ranges from 10nm to 10-4 nm.
These are produced when high energy electrons are stopped suddenly on a metal
of high atomic number. It has high penetrating power. Used in detection of
fractures, foreign bodies in human body, Used in the investigation of structure of
crystals arrangement of molecules in complex substances used in radiotherapy to
cure untraceable skin diseases etc.
• γ-Rays- It has a frequency range of 10 18 Hz to10 22 Hz and wavelength ranges
from 10 -10m to 10 -14 m. These are highly energetic and are produced by the
nucleus of the radioactive substances. Used in the treatment of cancer and
tumors, preservation of food stuffs, used to produce nuclear reactions etc.

The momentum carried by an electromagnetic wave is given by, P= 𝑐
If this electromagneticwave falls on a surface and is completely absorbed by the
surface, then no wave is reflected from the surface. Hence the change in momentum of
the electromagnetic wave after falling on the surface, dp=p.
If dt be the time during which the wave is complteley absorbed, then the force exerted
𝑑𝑃 𝑃
on the surface is given by 𝐹 = = 𝑑𝑡
𝑑𝑡
The force exerted per unit area of the surface is known as radiation pressure(P)
