Important properties of electro magnetic wave

~ These are the important properties of electromagnetic waves

1• They are transverse in nature.

2• They don’t require any medium for its propagation.

3•They travel with the same speed of light in vaccum ( 3×10^8 m/s).

4•They consist of mutually transverse varying electric and magnetic field.

5•These are Produced by accelerated Or oscillating charge

6•The energy in E. M. W is equally divided between the electric and magnetic field vector.

7•Both Electric field and magnetic field vector attains maximum and minimum at the same place and at the same time.

8•The electro magnetic waves obey the principle of superposition.

9•The electric vector is called light vector as it is responsible for optical affects due to an E. M. W.
