21 Why do we use AC and not DC What would you want to conserve? Why do we have high voltage transmission lines when our homes only have 120V? 21

22 James Clerk Maxwell Electricity and magnetism were originally thought to be unrelated in 1865, James Clerk Maxwell provided a mathematical theory that showed a close relationship between all electric and magnetic phenomena 22

23 More of Maxwell s Contributions Electromagnetic theory of light Kinetic theory of gases Nature of Saturn s rings Color vision Electromagnetic field interpretation Led to Maxwell s Equations 23

31 Properties of EM Waves 31

32 The EM Spectrum 32

33 Doppler Effect and EM Waves The light of a moving source is blue/red shifted by λ/λ 0 = v r /c Blue Shift (to higher frequencies) v r Red Shift (to lower frequencies) λ 0 = actual wavelength emitted by the source λ = Wavelength change due to Doppler effect v r = radial velocity 33

34 Example EM Waves 1. What are the wavelength ranges in 1. AM radio band ( khz) and 2. The FM radio band ( MHz)? 34

35 Example EM Waves 1. A speeder tries to explain to the police that the yellow warning lights on the side of the road looked green to her because of the Doppler shift. How fast would she have been traveling if yellow light of wavelength of 580 nm had been shifted to green with a wavelength of 560 nm? 35
