This would be an absurd question to one that knows the answer.

If say the peeks of an EM wave are mountains:

1. Do these mountains move forward with time and remain the same
distance apart (= frequency)?

2. Or do these mountains(wave peeks)  remain in place and only move up
and down with time?

-----------------------------------------------------------------

As a better visual, say the mountains move through a larger tunnel
opening, therefore do these mountains move say 10 feet away, then 9
feet away, then 8 feet, etc.... or do these mountain peeks always
remain the same distance from the tunnel opening and instead simply go
up and down with time (meaning the wave peeks go up and down with
time)??

No no... remain the same distance apart does equal frequency.
How often a give a peak reaches a particular reference point is
frequency,  take a peek at it.

Here's a better visual.

Notice that the car has frequency, the road has wavelength.
Also notice that the road moves, the car stays in the middle of the screen.

Your very brief, you seem to only be repeating what I already wrote?

Are you saying No the mountains do not move forward and only remain the
same distance apart?

> How often a give a peak reaches a particular reference point is

Ok but does the peek move forward(horizontaly) or only up and down?

Ok, you have two entities, where as wave is only one entity.

I believe your saying the wave peeks do not move forward with time and
instead only vibrate up and down?

You don't exactly find this info in regular text books, so could a few
more people add there input to validate which ever is the answer???

Sorry, my boo boo, remain the same distance apart does NOT equal frequency.

Not at all. I'm saying there is no such animal as wavelength for a pulse.

Think of a tsumani crossing the ocean. Does the water move thousands
of miles carrying a cork with it, or only up and down?
Or try cracking a whip.

Actually a photon is one "entity" made of two components.
http://www.androcles01.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/AC/AC.htm
That's why we speak of "electromagnetic" waves, but remember
a light beam can be focussed, usually with a parabolic mirror
as in a car headlight.

| I believe your saying the wave peeks do not move forward with time and

Hmmm... let's not confuse time with distance.
Moving in *time*, this oscillator
 http://www.kettering.edu/~drussell/Demos/SHO/damp.html
"moves" forward, but it stays still in space.
Now I *could* move it forward in space *as well*, but I don't have to.
If I did move it, I could say it has a "wavelength", but that "wavelength"
doesn't exist in the sense that the oscillator can't be in two places at
once.
My car is just a mass on a spring anyway.

I'd need another oscillator (same frequency) moving along at the same
speed, and then the "wavelength" if they are in phase is simply the distance
they are apart.
A photon doesn't have to be in phase with another, of course, even if it has
the same frequency, and in general two ions in a star will emit two photons.
Wavelength for one photon is pretty meaningless, it depends on speed,
and all speeds are relative. If it doesn't move, the "wavelength" is zero.

Regular books don't have GIFs in them, you have imagine the motion,
and many are written by idiots making money out of garbage.

From where I quote:
<< This is in agreement with Faraday's Law  for induction embodied
   in Maxwell's equations, E = -dB/dt which says the electric field
   is proportional to the change in the magnetic field.

   I suppose that's why the E and B fields in an EM-wave
   have a 90 degrees phase difference.

There you are, see. Another Viking moron that starts out at the "origo"
putting the E and M fields in phase. Little wonder you Quisling shitheads
never made anything but rowboats to invade Britain and paper clips.
Look at a capacitor, the current is NEVER in phase with the voltage.

| http://webphysics.davidson.edu/physlet_resources/bu_semester2/c22_EM.html

"E(x,t) = Emax cos(kx - omega.t)
B(x,t) = Bmax cos(kx - omega.t) "

That's where the guy f.cks up.
E(x,t) = Emax cos(kx - omega.t)
B(x,t) = Bmax -sin(kx - omega.t)

BECAUSE sin^2 + cos^2 = 1^2 = 1 (by Pythagoras)
the energy is constant for all t and all x, and a photon IS energy,
the energy is contained in the fields.
It is never zero at any x or t, which is what has been drawn.
Making it zero violates conservation of energy, the photon would cease
to exist.
That is basic physics and basic math, boy, conservation of energy
and Pythagoras. Have a good fart while you deny it.

The "circular em wave" (shown with one component missing) actually is
a demonstration of the energy vector (which is constant in length for all x)
for plane wave.
A real circular wave would rotate the green y-z plane (wrong labelled as
x-y)
as well.
Even the fact that the guy labels his axes incorrectly tells me he is a
halfwit, tho' he is smarter than you, he does draw pretty pictures.

You goofball.

The energy in the fields as a function of time is the space-integral
(over all space) of the field-magnitude-squared. Do that calculation
for fields in phase and show that it varies as a function of time.

You seem to want to insist that the energy density at *every point in
space* is constant as a function of time, as though energy conservation
requires that. What on *earth* gave you that idea?

You bozo.

I am afraid I can contribute with nothing new.
A conventionalist like me can only parrot Maxwell.
As opposed to you I am not inventing new physics.

Assume we have a plane EM-wave propagating along
the x-axis with the E-field:
Ex = 0
Ey = Eo*sin(wt - kx)
Ez = 0

Now we can ask which B-field this E-field will induce.

(curl E)_x = 0   (the x-component of the vector curl E)
(curl E)_y = -@Ez/@x = 0   (the y component - etc)
(curl E)_z = @Ey/@x = -k*Eo*cos(wt - kx)

According to Maxwell:
  curl E = -@B/@t

Thus:
  -@Bx/@t = 0
  -@By/@t = 0
  -@Bz/@t = -k*Eo*cos(wt - kx)
Integrating:
   Bx = 0
   By = 0
   Bz = (k/w)*Eo*sin(wt - kx) = (Eo/c)*sin(wt - kx)

So according to Maxwell, the induced magnetic field is
perpendicular to the E-field, and in phase with the E-field.

Now we could ask which E-field this B field will induce.

We have:
(curl B)_x = 0
(curl B)_y = -@Bz/@x = k*(Eo/c)*cos(wt - kx)
(curl B)_z = @By/@x = 0

According to Maxwell:
  curl H = @D/@t
or
  c^2*curl B = @E/@t

Thus:
  @Ex/@t = 0
  @Ey/@t = c^2*k*(Eo/c)*cos(wt - kx)
  @Bz/@t = 0
Integrating:
  Ex = 0
  Ey = (c^2*k*(Eo/c)/w)*sin(wt - kx)=Eo*sin(wt-kx)
  Ez = 0

So according to Maxwell, the induced E-field is
perpendicular to the B-field, and in phase with the B-field.

Indeed. The world is full of idiots with the delusion
that Maxwell's equation curl E = -@B/@t is correct,
and that the E and B fields thus are in phase.

You, OTOH, is the one and only person in the whole world
knowing that the correct equation is E = -@B/@t,
and that the E and B fields thus not are in phase.
You are not like a parrot repeating what you have learned,
because you never learned anything but invented it all yourself.
You are definitely not brainwashed by education,
but are a true autodidact.

You have indeed an important mission educating the world
about your new and revolutionary physics.

If I'm an autodidact, then I invented the wheel.
| According to Maxwell:
|   curl E = -@B/@t
According to the proven lying c.nt,
 Ey = Eo*sin(wt - kx)  (correct)
and B is in phase with E (incorrect),
Thus
Bz = Bo*cos(wt - kx)  and sin(x) = cos(x) where x is the direction of
propagation and y and z are the directions of the field vectors.

I happen to know that sin(x) does not equal cos(x), but maybe it does in
Norway.

integrates
twice and even then doesn't claim a phase shift of pi.

Well, Androcles.
Maybe you can point out exactly where I go wrong?
Let's start with the basics.

Do you claim that this equation of Maxwell is wrong?
  curl E = -@B/@t

If your answer is yes, it is wrong, will you then
please show us the correct equation?

If your answer is no, it is correct, will you then
please point out exactly where I go wrong when I apply
this equation?

I will make it simple for you:
In our case the equation:
  curl E = -@B/@t
simplifies to:
  @Ey/@x = -@Bz/@t

If Ey = Eo*sin(wt - kx)
we have:
  @Ey/@x = -k*Eo*cos(wt - kx)
so:
 -@Bz/@t = -k*Eo*cos(wt - kx)
integrating:
  Bz = (k/w)*Eo*sin(wt - kx)

So:

You mean somewhere here?

In our case the equation:
   curl E = -@B/@t
simplifies to:
   @Ey/@x = -@Bz/@t

If Ey = Eo*sin(wt - kx)
we have:
   @Ey/@x = -k*Eo*cos(wt - kx)
so:
  -@Bz/@t = -k*Eo*cos(wt - kx)
integrating:
   Bz = (k/w)*Eo*sin(wt - kx)

Please point out exactly where I "confuse x with t".

"put in c"?
I suppose you know that w/k = c.
You ARE an electrical engineer, aren't you? :-)

> Transformers, motors and generators don't care about x,

So @f(x,t)/@x is impossible because t is no constant? :-)
You were joking, of course.
You DO have a degree in mathematics, don't you?

So maybe you can show us the correct derivation?
We have:
 curl E = - @B/@t
and
 Ey = Eo*sin(wt - kx)

B = ?

An alternative approach is starting with:
 curl H = @D/@t
or (in vacuum):
 curl B = c^-2*@E/@t
and:
 Ey = Eo*sin(wt - kx)

B = ?

This is easy for someone with a degree in mathematics, isn't it?

Ok thanks, so the EM waves move horizontally like water waves.

I thought perhaps there was chance they pop up vertically along a
horizontal path one wave at a time, and as each new wave forms the
previous waves bop up and down only.

Perhaps you mean  a "standing" wave. Here are two examples.

In the second example we see two travelling waves combining,
but the aether wind blowing by has no effect. This is the now famous

I can hear my grandson in his bedroom upstairs when he's using his Play
Station 2 and I'm visiting my daughter.
I'd say sound travels vertically, just as sunlight does. :-)

Actually sound is a "longitudinal" wave,

http://tinyurl.com/jnqpv

meaning it is compression and
rarification of air, (same as seismic waves from earthquakes).
You can see the compression going one way an the rarification going the
other.
Watch a single dot. It only moves a little.

Water waves are "transverse" waves,

http://tinyurl.com/fxp46

the water moves above and below the mean
water level. Wave motion is really more complex than most people realise.
Here's another:
http://tinyurl.com/eecnj

Watch the pulse reflect. Remember this is a mathematical *representation*
of a wave, the height is actually compression as in a longitudinal wave.
The pulse can also be thought of as photon.

The diagram doesn't actually make any sense for a photon.

http://www.androcles01.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/photonwave.gif

The ball (height representing the field strength of a photon) is bouncing
and traces out the FIXED green wave, not a moving red wave, so if anyone
tells you about wave-particle duality, point out to them that light waves
don't
move, they are the history of a photon. There are no light "waves".

Well, I think it's a pretty good question.  I've been thinking about it
for the last couple of days myself.

I've been thinking about running over to the nearest library and
checking what Faraday or Maxwell had to say on the subject.

If you have a positive charge moving up and down and up and down, the
electric field should point directly away from it.

So as that electric field arrives at its destination, it will still be
going up and down and up and down, but mostly straight away from the
source.

If you look at the vectors, you'll find this is enough to apply a
torque to a dipole.

But there is a delay of the speed of light, and I believe it probably
maintains the shape of the electric fields, except that they spread
out.

I think this idea is compatible with polarization and circular
polarization you seem to get from Karo syrup and that kind of stuff.
tahoma - 25 Apr 2006 23:40 GMT
> This would be an absurd question to one that knows the answer.

amazingly no hipnotists can answer your question

lets see

the problem is the way the wave is depicted, everywhere, on
internet etc

if the direction of propagation is alon z-axis for instance, then
they depict a liniar polarized EM wave as having the amplitude
oscilating up an down along y axis or x, which is wrong

why?

becouse look into yourself, dont listen and look to everybody

turn on a light bulb, the light propagates spherical, how could
the amplitude oscilate perpendicular to any direction of propagation

this is stooopid, and gay

the amplitude oscillate in the direction of propagation

i do like jesus and give you an example to understand

take the wave as being a ballon surface, how can it oscillate,
of course only in the direction of propagate, back and forward

even a colimated coherent laser beam, consider it as a steradian
part cutten out from the big spherical wave, yes, it is not 100%
plane frontwave

now you need to give me 10 poings for the good answer

Both you and spoonfed didn't exactly reply to my question which is do
the peeks of these EM waves:

1. only vibrate up and down

2. or as well if they move forward.

In case of #1, the wave simply emerges along the vertical axis as each
new wave is formed along it's horizontal trajectory at the velocity of
light....

I didn't know that I don't spend my days visualizing em waves.

I thought there's a "chance" they might be different and that new lumps

lumps as the wave moves forward....

For an infinite plane wave, yes. But their distance apart is their
wavelength, not frequency. wavelength = c/frequency.

Such a wave traveling along the z axis is described mathematically:

    Ez = Bz = Ey = Bx = 0
    Ex = E0 sin(w t - (w/c) z)
    By = B0 cos(w t - (w/c) z)
        w = 2 pi f, where f is the frequency of the wave.
        There is a relationship between E0 and B0 you can look
        up; both are constant.

Since the peaks of cos(x) occur when x=2 n pi (n an integer), the wave
is traveling in the +z direction.

> 2. Or do these mountains(wave peeks)  remain in place and only move up
> and down with time?

No. But for water waves, the individual molecules of water do
(approximately) stay in one place horizontally and opnly move up and
down with time. For an EM wave, the E and B fields at a given point
oscillate between their max and min values; attempting to discuss a
field "moving" does not make sense.

Is w the angular velocity and how come the amplitude is not in the
equation, meaning w = 2pi A F

Are you sure, I thought that water waves created by a moving boat do
travel horizontally(I thought EM waves where the exception not water
waves) otherwise wouldn't a cork on these waves remain in the same
location (bopping up and down) instead of moving forward with the
waves?

I'm not sure what you mean, unless you mean an EM wave surrounding an
electron (oscillates around the electron) as it moves in a wire where
as I'm talking about for example about a Radio EM wave emitted by an
antenna (as the wave propagates away from the antenna)?

It's not either/or. It's both. A traveling wave is a function of both
space and time.
When one wants to look at a function of two variables, one takes a
"slice" (holding one variable constant) and looks at the behavior of
the function in terms of the other variable.

If you take a "time slice" (holding time constant), you see that the EM
field is a wave in space, with "peak moments" separated in space. If
you take a later time slice, you will see that the peaks have shifted
in one direction or the other.

If you take a "space slice" (holding space constant), you will see that
the EM field at a given place oscillates back and forth with the "peak
moments" separated in time.

It is an oscillation in *both* time and space.

Spoonfed - 27 Apr 2006 03:57 GMT
Just one additional clarification:

If you take the time slice for t=0 and then look at the next time slice
for t=1, does the wave form look exactly the same, just shifted over?

I would say yes, the electric fields are in the exact same
configuration, except for the minor detail that the different waves may
have vector's slightly at angles to one another, so what may have
overlapped before may split apart, or vice versa.

Now as for whether or not this means that the electric field "moved"
may be as important a question as whether a tree falling makes a sound
with no one to hear it.

I'm talking about the visual aspect, meaning either one of the
following two cases below here, where the mountain peeks represent a
radio signal's EM wave peeks, for metaphoric example lets pretend the
mountains are on a road:

#1.  Do the mountains move forward exactly like a car on the road?

or #2.  Do the mountains remain stationary AND INSTEAD EACH new
mountain gradually pops up vertically out of the road in front of the
previous other mountains?

Lets pretend the wavelength is a distance = 30 and pretend the 1st
mountain peek (wave peek) was at a horizontal distance x=10

In case #1 above this mountains peek would occupy all distances along
the x axis meaning x=10 then x=10.0001 then x=10.0002, etc....

In case #2 the wave always remains at the same phase with the source,
meaning: the 1st mountain always remains at x = 10 and instead a new
mountain ***gradually*** grows upwards vertically(from a flat road) in
front of the 1st mountain with it's peek at location x = 10 +
wavelength = 40, etc.... (therefore in case #2 there is *never* a
mountain peek anywere between x=10 and x=40 where as in case #1 the
mountain peeks travels horizontally all along the x axis including
between x=10 and x= 40)

Visually, you can look at it either way.
http://www.pa.msu.edu/courses/2000spring/PHY232/lectures/emwaves/maxwell.html
Focus your eyes on one red hump and you'll see the same hump moving to
the right.
Focus your eyes on the origin and you'll see a mountain growing, then
falling, then making a valley, then rising again.

It is *both*, not one or the other.
