24.1 Electromagnetic Waves, Introduction Electromagnetic (em) waves permeate
our environment EM waves can propagate through a
vacuum Much of the behavior of mechanical
wave models is similar for em waves Maxwell’s equations form the basis of
all electromagnetic phenomena

Conduction Current A conduction current is carried by charged
particles in a wire The magnetic field associated with this
current can be calculated using Ampère’s Law:
The line integral is over any closed path through which the conduction current passes

Conduction Current, cont. Ampère’s Law in this form is
valid only if the conduction current is continuous in space
In the example, the conduction current passes through only S1
This leads to a contradiction in Ampère’s Law which needs to be resolved

Displacement Current, cont. The changing electric field may be considered
as equivalent to a current For example, between the plates of a capacitor
This current can be considered as the continuation of the conduction current in a wire
This term is added to the current term in Ampère’s Law

24.2 Maxwell’s Equations, Introduction In 1865, James Clerk Maxwell provided a
mathematical theory that showed a close relationship between all electric and magnetic phenomena
Maxwell’s equations also predicted the existence of electromagnetic waves that propagate through space
Einstein showed these equations are in agreement with the special theory of relativity

Maxwell’s Equations, Details The equations, as shown, are for free space
No dielectric or magnetic material is present The equations have been seen in detail in
earlier chapters: Gauss’ Law (electric flux) Gauss’ Law for magnetism Faraday’s Law of induction Ampère’s Law, General form

Lorentz Force Once the electric and magnetic fields
are known at some point in space, the force of those fields on a particle of charge q can be calculated:
The force is called the Lorentz force

24.3 Electromagnetic Waves In empty space, q = 0 and I = 0 Maxwell predicted the existence of
electromagnetic waves The electromagnetic waves consist of oscillating
electric and magnetic fields The changing fields induce each other which
maintains the propagation of the wave A changing electric field induces a magnetic field A changing magnetic field induces an electric field

Plane em Waves We will assume that the
vectors for the electric and magnetic fields in an em wave have a specific space-time behavior that is consistent with Maxwell’s equations
Assume an em wave that travels in the x direction with the electric field in the y direction and the magnetic field in the z direction

Plane em Waves, cont The x-direction is the direction of propagation Waves in which the electric and magnetic
fields are restricted to being parallel to a pair of perpendicular axes are said to be linearly polarized waves
We also assume that at any point in space, the magnitudes E and B of the fields depend upon x and t only
![Page 18: Chapter 24 Electromagnetic Waves 2 Fig. 24-CO, p. 806.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bfa81a28abf838c99425/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Rays A ray is a line along which the wave travels All the rays for the type of linearly polarized
waves that have been discussed are parallel The collection of waves is called a plane
wave A surface connecting points of equal phase
on all waves, called the wave front, is a geometric plane

Properties of EM Waves The solutions of Maxwell’s are wave-like, with
both E and B satisfying a wave equation Electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of

Properties of em Waves, 2 The components of the electric and
magnetic fields of plane electromagnetic waves are perpendicular to each other and perpendicular to the direction of propagation This can be summarized by saying that
electromagnetic waves are transverse waves

Doppler Effect for Light Light exhibits a Doppler effect
Remember, the Doppler effect is an apparent change in frequency due to the motion of an observer or the source
Since there is no medium required for light waves, only the relative speed, v, between the source and the observer can be identified
![Page 30: Chapter 24 Electromagnetic Waves 2 Fig. 24-CO, p. 806.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bfa81a28abf838c99425/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Doppler Effect, cont. The equation also depends on the laws of
relativity
v is the relative speed between the source and the observer

Doppler Effect, final For galaxies receding from the Earth v
is entered as a negative number Therefore, ƒ’<ƒ and the apparent
wavelength, ’, is greater than the actual wavelength
The light is shifted toward the red end of the spectrum
This is what is observed in the red shift

Hertz’s Experiment An induction coil is
connected to a transmitter The transmitter consists of
two spherical electrodes separated by a narrow gap

Hertz’s Experiment, cont The coil provides short voltage surges to the
electrodes As the air in the gap is ionized, it becomes a
better conductor The discharge between the electrodes
exhibits an oscillatory behavior at a very high frequency
From a circuit viewpoint, this is equivalent to an LC circuit
![Page 43: Chapter 24 Electromagnetic Waves 2 Fig. 24-CO, p. 806.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bfa81a28abf838c99425/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

Hertz’s Experiment, final Sparks were induced across the gap of the
receiving electrodes when the frequency of the receiver was adjusted to match that of the transmitter
In a series of other experiments, Hertz also showed that the radiation generated by this equipment exhibited wave properties Interference, diffraction, reflection, refraction and
polarization He also measured the speed of the radiation

24.5 Poynting Vector Electromagnetic waves carry energy As they propagate through space, they
can transfer that energy to objects in their path
The rate of flow of energy in an em wave is described by a vector called the Poynting vector
![Page 45: Chapter 24 Electromagnetic Waves 2 Fig. 24-CO, p. 806.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bfa81a28abf838c99425/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

46
Poynting Vector, final The magnitude of the vector represents
the rate at which energy flows through a unit surface area perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation This is the power per unit area
The SI units of the Poynting vector are J/s.m2 = W/m2

Energy Density, cont The instantaneous energy density
associated with the magnetic field of an em wave equals the instantaneous energy density associated with the electric field In a given volume, the energy is shared
equally by the two fields

50
Energy Density, final The total instantaneous energy density is the
sum of the energy densities associated with each field u =uE + uB = oE2 = B2 / o
When this is averaged over one or more cycles, the total average becomes uav = o (Eavg)2 = ½ oE2
max = B2max / 2o
In terms of I, I = Savg = c uavg The intensity of an em wave equals the average
energy density multiplied by the speed of light

U to the surface in a time interval t, the total momentum is p = U / c for complete absorption

Pressure and Momentum Pressure, P, is defined as the force per unit
area
But the magnitude of the Poynting vector is (dU/dt)/A and so P = S / c For complete absorption An absorbing surface for which all the incident
energy is absorbed is called a black body

Pressure and Momentum, cont For a perfectly reflecting surface,
p = 2 U / c and P = 2 S / c For a surface with a reflectivity somewhere
between a perfect reflector and a perfect absorber, the momentum delivered to the surface will be somewhere in between U/c and 2U/c
For direct sunlight, the radiation pressure is about 5 x 10-6 N/m2

Space Sailing A space-sailing craft includes a very large sail
that reflects light The motion of the spacecraft depends on the
pressure from light From the force exerted on the sail by the reflection
of light from the sun Studies concluded that sailing craft could
travel between planets in times similar to those for traditional rockets

make up the em spectrum There is no sharp division between one
kind of em wave and the next All forms of the various types of
radiation are produced by the same phenomenon – accelerating charges

24.8 Polarization of Light Waves The electric and magnetic vectors associated
with an electromagnetic wave are perpendicular to each other and to the direction of wave propagation
Polarization is a property that specifies the directions of the electric and magnetic fields associated with an em wave
The direction of polarization is defined to be the direction in which the electric field is vibrating
![Page 76: Chapter 24 Electromagnetic Waves 2 Fig. 24-CO, p. 806.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bfa81a28abf838c99425/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
76
Unpolarized Light, Example All directions of
vibration from a wave source are possible
The resultant em wave is a superposition of waves vibrating in many different directions
This is an unpolarized wave
The arrows show a few possible directions of the waves in the beam
Fig 24.13(a)
![Page 77: Chapter 24 Electromagnetic Waves 2 Fig. 24-CO, p. 806.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bfa81a28abf838c99425/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
77
Polarization of Light, cont A wave is said to be linearly
polarized if the resultant electric field vibrates in the same direction at all times at a particular point
The plane formed by the electric field and the direction of propagation is called the plane of polarization of the wave
Fig 24.13(b)
![Page 78: Chapter 24 Electromagnetic Waves 2 Fig. 24-CO, p. 806.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bfa81a28abf838c99425/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
78
Methods of Polarization It is possible to obtain a linearly
polarized beam from an unpolarized beam by removing all waves from the beam expect those whose electric field vectors oscillate in a single plane
The most common processes for accomplishing polarization of the beam is called selective absorption
![Page 79: Chapter 24 Electromagnetic Waves 2 Fig. 24-CO, p. 806.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bfa81a28abf838c99425/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
79
Polarization by Selective Absorption
Uses a material that transmits waves whose electric field vectors in the plane parallel to a certain direction and absorbs waves whose electric field vectors are perpendicular to that direction
Fig 24.14
![Page 80: Chapter 24 Electromagnetic Waves 2 Fig. 24-CO, p. 806.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bfa81a28abf838c99425/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)

Selective Absorption, cont E. H. Land discovered a material that
polarizes light through selective absorption He called the material Polaroid The molecules readily absorb light whose
electric field vector is parallel to their lengths and allow light through whose electric field vector is perpendicular to their lengths
![Page 82: Chapter 24 Electromagnetic Waves 2 Fig. 24-CO, p. 806.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bfa81a28abf838c99425/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
82
Selective Absorption, final It is common to refer to the direction
perpendicular to the molecular chains as the transmission axis
In an ideal polarizer, All light with the electric field parallel to the
transmission axis is transmitted All light with the electric field perpendicular
to the transmission axis is absorbed
![Page 83: Chapter 24 Electromagnetic Waves 2 Fig. 24-CO, p. 806.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bfa81a28abf838c99425/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
83
Intensity of a Polarized Beam The intensity of the polarized beam
transmitted through the second polarizing sheet (the analyzer) varies as I = Io cos2 θ
Io is the intensity of the polarized wave incident on the analyzer
This is known as Malus’ Law and applies to any two polarizing materials whose transmission axes are at an angle of θ to each other
![Page 84: Chapter 24 Electromagnetic Waves 2 Fig. 24-CO, p. 806.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bfa81a28abf838c99425/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
84
Intensity of a Polarized Beam, cont The intensity of the transmitted beam is
a maximum when the transmission axes are parallel = 0 or 180o
The intensity is zero when the transmission axes are perpendicular to each other This would cause complete absorption
![Page 85: Chapter 24 Electromagnetic Waves 2 Fig. 24-CO, p. 806.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bfa81a28abf838c99425/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)

24.9 Properties of Laser Light The light is coherent
The rays maintain a fixed phase relationship with one another
There is no destructive interference The light is monochromatic
It has a very small range of wavelengths The light has a small angle of divergence
The beam spreads out very little, even over long distances
![Page 87: Chapter 24 Electromagnetic Waves 2 Fig. 24-CO, p. 806.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bfa81a28abf838c99425/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
87
Stimulated Emission Stimulated emission is required for laser
action to occur When an atom is in an excited state, an
incident photon can stimulate the electron to fall to the ground state and emit a photon
The first photon is not absorbed, so now there are two photons with the same energy traveling in the same direction
![Page 88: Chapter 24 Electromagnetic Waves 2 Fig. 24-CO, p. 806.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bfa81a28abf838c99425/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)

90
Stimulated Emission, Final The two photons (incident and emitted)
are in phase They can both stimulate other atoms to
emit photons in a chain of similar processes
The many photons produced are the source of the coherent light in the laser
![Page 91: Chapter 24 Electromagnetic Waves 2 Fig. 24-CO, p. 806.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bfa81a28abf838c99425/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
91
Necessary Conditions for Stimulated Emission For the stimulated emission to occur,
there must be a buildup of photons in the system
The system must be in a state of population inversion More atoms must be in excited states than
in the ground state This insures there is more emission of
photons by excited atoms than absorption by ground state atoms
![Page 92: Chapter 24 Electromagnetic Waves 2 Fig. 24-CO, p. 806.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bfa81a28abf838c99425/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
92
More Conditions The excited state of the system must be
a metastable state Its lifetime must be long compared to the
usually short lifetimes of excited states The energy of the metastable state is
indicated by E* In this case, the stimulated emission is
likely to occur before the spontaneous emission
![Page 93: Chapter 24 Electromagnetic Waves 2 Fig. 24-CO, p. 806.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bfa81a28abf838c99425/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
93
Final Condition The emitted photons must be confined
They must stay in the system long enough to stimulate further emissions
In a laser, this is achieved by using mirrors at the ends of the system
One end is generally reflecting and the other end is slightly transparent to allow the beam to escape
![Page 94: Chapter 24 Electromagnetic Waves 2 Fig. 24-CO, p. 806.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bfa81a28abf838c99425/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
