12th physics online class and notes -Electromagnetic Waves

Physics notes for class 12 : How are Electromagnetic waves produced?

Electromagnetic waves are produced by an accelerated or de-accelerated charge or LC circuit.

Transverse Nature of Electromagnetic waves:The Electromagnetic waves are transverse in nature with the electric and magnetic fields perpendicular to the direction of propagation.

Electromagnetic waves: The waves propagating in space through electric and magnetic fields varying in space and time simultaneously are called electromagnetic waves.

An electromagnetic wave consists of a fluctuating electric field and a fluctuating magnetic field of the same frequency and the same phase.
The electric and magnetic fields are mutually perpendicular and also perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.
In the propagation of an electromagnetic wave, a varying electric field E gives rise to a varying magnetic field and so on. In this way, electric and magnetic fields of the wave sustain each other.

Characteristics of electromagnetic waves:

The electromagnetic waves travel in free space with speed of light irrespective of their wave length.
Electromagnetic waves are transverse in nature.
Electromagnetic waves do not need a material medium for their

propagation.

Electromagnetic waves are produced by accelerated charges.
Electromagnetic waves obey the principle of superposition.

Electromagnetic waves are neutral so they are not deflected by electric and magnetic fields.
The ratio of magnitudes of electric and magnetic field vectors in free space is constant and equal to c

ie c = E/B = 3×108m/s

Electromagnetic waves show properties of reflection, refraction, interference,

diffraction and polarisation.

Lessons-Worksheets-Question Papers-CBSE Class 2 English CBSE 2nd Class English – One and Many In this blog, we share the spelling rules used in the concept of One and Many. When there is only one of a naming word (noun), it is said to be a singular noun . When a noun shows more than one, it is said to be in the plural . We can add –S, -es, -ves or ies to show that there is more than one noun. For example, we say many birds, four biscuits, six brushes. But for the students of Class 2 , it’s very difficult and confusing to understand where to use s , es, ves or ies in the form of many. Don’t worry, it looks difficult, but it is very easy as in grammar each concept has a set of rules that need to practice. Noun ending with –s, -x, -o, -sh, -ch, and –ss form plurals by taking –es. Look at these pairs of words: Bus – Buses Brush – Brushes Continue ..... Click here ...

Bhakti Movement NCERT Class 12 History

Bhakti Movement NCERT Class 12 History The Bhakti movement was an effort to achieve salvation and emancipation by devotion to God. In Hindi, the word bhakti refers to fervent devotion to God. This movement, which stressed a single-minded, ardent devotion to God, is seen as the most characteristic act of religious progress during the Middle Ages. In the 12th and 13th centuries, Kabir Das was a key figure in the Bhakti Movement. As a result of the movement, Kabir Das' poems and religious writings attained widespread fame. Kabir Das was raised up by a Muslim family. However, his religious beliefs were influenced by his Hindu teacher Ramananda, who regarded Rama as the highest God. The first Sikh guru and the founder of Sikhism was Guru Nanak. He vehemently opposed prejudice based on customs, rivalry, and caste in religion. Nanak was raised in a Hindu household and from an early age began to exhibit spiritual tendencies. He helped the indigent and underprivileged. His followers began r...
