5. Producing Electromagnetic Waves
Maxwell’s electromagnetic equations
states that an oscillating electric current
should be capable of radiating energy in the
form of a wave known as electromagnetic
waves (EM waves) that would travel as fast
as the speed of light.

discovered Hertzian wave – an
electromagnetic radiation produced
by
electrical
oscillation
in
a
conductor, of wavelengths ranging
from the order of millimetres to
kilometres.

12. How Electromagnetic Waves are Created
An EM wave used for communication
purposes is made by using a coil and a
capacitor in a parallel circuit.

20. The Electromagnetic Spectrum
Radio and TV waves
are waves that have the longest
wavelengths and the lowest frequencies
in the electromagnetic spectrum. They
can be produced by making electricity
oscillate in an aerial.
