24.1 Maxwell’s Equations: Electromagnetic Waves Predicted and Observed

24.2 Production of Electromagnetic Waves

24.3 The Electromagnetic Spectrum

24.4 Energy in Electromagnetic Waves

Wave equation: speed, frequency, and wavelength relationship

speed = frequency x wavelength

[latex]v=f*w[/latex]

frequency = speed / wavelength

[latex]f=v/w[/latex]

wavelength = speed / frequency

[latex]w=v/f[/latex]

This wave equation is true for all types of waves.
