Transverse electromagnetic wave
Learning objectives
- To see the characteristics of a transverse Electromagnetic wave.
- To introduce the Speed of Light to Wavelength and Frequency Relationship: The speed of the electromagnetic wave (speed of light) is equal to the wavelength times the frequency.
Transverse Electromagnetic Wave (TEM). This animation shows a linear polarized wave. The relationship between frequency and wavelength is illustrated. (Their product remains constant: it is the speed of light!).
