This section encompasses the formulation of Maxwell's equations and their role in unifying electric and magnetic fields, predicting the existence of electromagnetic waves. It explains how waves are produced by oscillating charges, how their electric and magnetic field strengths are interrelated, and how these waves propagate through vacuum without a medium. Various parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, from radio waves to gamma rays, are characterized by their distinct wavelengths and frequencies, and their practical applications span communications, medical imaging, radar, and more.

Verify that the correct value for the speed of light $c$ is obtained when numerical values for the permeability and permittivity of free space $\left(\mu_{0}$ and $\varepsilon_{0}\right)$ are entered into the equation $c=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_{0} \varepsilon_{0}}}$
Show that, when SI units for $\mu_{0}$ and $\varepsilon_{0}$ are entered, the units given by the right-hand side of the equation in the problem above are $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ .
What is the maximum electric field strength in an electromagnetic wave that has a maximum magnetic field strength of $5.00 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{T}$ (about 10 times the Earth's)?
The maximum magnetic field strength of an electromagnetic field is $5 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{T}$ . Calculate the maximum electric field strength if the wave is traveling in a medium in which the speed of the wave is 0.75$c .$
Verify the units obtained for magnetic field strength $B$ in Example 24.1 (using the equation $B=\frac{E}{C} )$ are in fact teslas (T).
