Document Summary

A form of energy transmission in which electric and magnetic fields are propagated as waves through empty space (a vacuum) One of the four forces known in nature. Mediators of electromagnetic force are photons :(massless particles of spin one: electromagnetic force chemistry infinite range. F= (k) (q1q2 / r2) (r) (r is a unit vector) F is faraday (the charge on a mole of electrons: gravity cosmology infinite range. F= (g) (m1m2 / r2) (r) (r is a unit vector: weak nuclear force nuclear physics within nucleus short range, strong nuclear force nuclear physics - with nucleus short range. A wave is a disturbance that transmits energy through space or a material medium. Waves of light are always in a sinusodial motion. The maximum height of the wave above the center line or the maximum depth below is called the amplitude (a) The distance between the tops of two successive crests is called the wave lengths.
