Electromagnetic Waves
• Electromagnetic Waves– Made by vibrating
electric charges– Can travel through space
where matter is not present
– We cannot hear them, but can feel and experience their effects
• Vibrations of Electric Charges

Electromagnetic Waves
• Electromagnetic Waves– Travel by transferring
energy between vibrating electric and magnetic fields
– Like some mechanical waves, electromagnetic waves are considered transverse

Making Electromagnetic Waves
• Electric charges vibrate• Electric field around it
changes• The magnetic field
around the charge changes
• Both fields change continuously creating the wave

Waves and Particles• Em waves– Can behave like particles– This is why energy depends
on frequency, not amplitude
• Photons– Particles of
electromagnetic waves– Carrier of electromagnetic
radiation

AM Radio
• AM Radio– AM = amplitude
modulation– Broadcasts by varying
the amplitude of the carrier wave

FM Radio
• FM Radio– FM = Frequency
Modulation– FM broadcasts by
changing the frequency of the carrier wave
– Frequencies range from 88 million to 108 million Hz
