Maxwell’s Rainbow: The Electromagnetic Spectrum As the figure shows, we now know a wide spectrum (or range) of electromagnetic waves: Maxwell’s rainbow. In the wavelength scale in the figure, (and similarly the corresponding frequency scale), each scale marker represents a change in wavelength (and correspondingly in frequency) by a factor of 10. The scale is open-ended; the wavelengths/frequencies of electromagnetic waves have no inherent upper or lower bound.

The Traveling Wave, Qualitatively: Some electromagnetic waves, including x rays, gamma rays, and visible light, are radiated (emitted) from sources that are of atomic or nuclear size. Figure 33-3 shows the generation of such waves. At its heart is an LC oscillator, which establishes an angular frequency w(=1/√(LC)). Charges and currents in this circuit vary sinusoidally at this frequency.

Reflection and Refraction: The index of refraction, n, of a medium is equal to c/v, where v is the speed of light in that medium and c is its speed in vacuum. In the refraction law, each of the symbols n 1 and n 2 is a dimensionless constant, called the index of refraction, that is associated with a medium involved in the refraction. The refraction law is also called Snell’s law. The Law of Reflection Snell’s Law

33.8: Chromatic Dispersion: BLUE BENDS MORE The index of refraction n encountered by light in any medium except vacuum depends on the wavelength of the light. The dependence of n on wavelength implies that when a light beam consists of rays of different wavelengths, the rays will be refracted at different angles by a surface; that is, the light will be spread out by the refraction. This spreading of light is called chromatic dispersion. R o y g b I v

33.9: Total Internal Reflection: For angles of incidence larger than c, such as for rays f and g, there is no refracted ray and all the light is reflected; this effect is called total internal reflection. For the critical angle, Which means that
