Directions of Electromagnetic Waves
In an electromagnetic wave both the electric and magnetic fields are perpendicular to
the direction of propagation, that is why electromagnetic waves are transverse in nature.
syllabus Electromagnetic waves carry energy as they travel through space and this energy is
shared equally by the electric and magnetic fields. Energy density of an electromagnetic

—Q@—————
Oscillating Charge
‘A stationary charge produces only an electrostatic field while a charge in uniform motion produces a magnetic
field, that does not change with time. An oscillating charge is an example of accelerating charge. It produces an
oscillating magnetic field, which in turn produces an oscillating electric fields and so on. The oscillating electric
and magnetic fields regenerate each other as a wave which propagates through space.

Sources of Electromagnetic Waves
Radio waves are produced by the accelerated motion of charges in conducting wires. Microwaves are produced
by special vacuum tubes. Infrared waves are produced by hot hodies and molecules also known as heat waves.
UV rays are produced by special lamps and very hot bodies like Sun.
