• Fields are perpendicular to the direction in which the wave moves
• Transverse Waves

Electromagnetic waves consist of electric and magnetic fields.
The fields are mutually perpendicular.
Electromagnetic (EM) Waves

• All electromagnetic waves move at the speed of light
• 2.99 X 108 m/s• use 3.00 X 108 m/s for problems

• Brightness is proportional to the source of the light
• Brightness = 1/distance 2

Illumination is measured in lumens (lm).Illumination depends on the brightness of the source and the distance from the source.
Predict the relationship between illumination and distance.It is an inverse square relationship.
