RFID The EM Spectrum
Electromagnetic waves formed when an electric field (the blue arrows) couples with a magnetic field (the red arrows) magnetic and electric fields of an electromagnetic wave are perpendicular to each other and to the direction of the wave.
Properties of EM Waves Wavelength - m Frequency - Hz Energy - eV ElectronVolt: It is the amount of kinetic energy gained by a single unbound electron when it passes through an electrostatic potential difference of one volt, in vacuum. In other words, it is equal to one volt (1 volt = 1 joule per coulomb) times the charge of a single electron Freq = cycles per second
Properties of the EM Spectrum Typical Units Vary with the Spectrum
