Wavelike Properties of Electromagnetic RadiationLarge colloidal particles
2.1 Properties of millimeter waves Millimeter waves are electromagnetic (radio) waves typically defined to lie within the frequency range of 30–300 GHz. The microwave band is just below the millimeter-wave band and is typically defined to cover the 3–30-GHz range. The terahertz band is just...
14-2 PROPERTIES OF ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES Reflection and Refraction Because electromagnetic radiations are waves, they exhibit all of the properties we have discussed for mechanical waves. Thus, light waves and radio waves can be reflected and refracted, and they exhibit diffraction and interference. Fo...
fixedfrequencyandwavelength. Mechanical waves, such as sound, require a medium through which to travel, while electromagnetic waves (seeelectromagnetic radiation) do not require a medium and can bepropagatedthrough avacuum. Propagation of a wave through a medium depends on the medium’s properties....
This scenario occurs, for instance, in levitated optomechanics and particle-tracking experiments inside a complex scattering environment, where high-precision measurements of the particles’ properties are necessary for accurate classification and analysis9,27,28,29. Fig. 1: Illustration of precision ...
depending on its wavelength. Certain wavelengths make up the spectrum of visible light. Infrared light and radio waves have longer wavelengths, whereas ultraviolet light, x-rays, and gamma rays have shorter wavelengths. These wave properties do not tell the full story of electromagnetic radiation, ...
Historically, the first application of electromagnetic wave interaction with mat ter involved measurement of amplitude changes at a single frequency caused by material properties, and it is still used today by some systems. This approach was soon supplemented by single frequency phase measurements, ...
A three-dimensional finite element numerical modeling for the scanning microwave microscopy (SMM) setup is applied to study the full-wave quantification of the local material properties of samples. The modeling takes into account the radiation and scattering losses of the nano-sized probe neglected in...
A wave of electromagnetic energy that is radiated by an accelerating or oscillating electric charge and propagates through a vacuum or a material medium as a periodic disturbance of the electromagnetic field at a frequency within the electromagnetic spectrum. ...
The energy-momentum tensor for a quasimonochromatic electromagnetic wave packet is constructed. Electrostrictive forces and nonlinear perturbations of the gas rest energy density are taken into account. Certain particle-like properties of the wave packet are demonstrated. Radiation pressure forces are ...
