Our planet exists within a space environment affected by constantly changing solar atmosphere producing cosmic particles and electromagnetic waves. This "space weather" profoundly influences the performance of our technology because we primarily use two means for transmitting information and energy namely, electromagnetic waves and electricity.
This book is dedicated to various aspects of electromagnetic wave theory and its applications in science and technology. The covered topics include the fundamental physics of electromagnetic waves, theory of electromagnetic wave propagation and scattering, methods of computational analysis, material characterization, electromagnetic properties of plasma, analysis and applications of periodic structures and waveguide components, and finally, the biological effects and medical applications of electromagnetic fields.
What do radios, microwave ovens and X-ray machines have in common? They all use different forms of electromagnetic energy to do work. In Electromagnetic Energy, learn that cosmic rays from space and visible light are also part of the family of energy waves known as the electromagnetic spectrum. Discover that electromagnetic energy travels in waves through space and can also move through solid materials. Fast-paced visuals and dynamic graphics help explain that the size of the waves determines their position in the spectrum as well as how much energy they contain.
Numerical Analysis for Electromagnetic Integral Equations (Artech House Electromagnetic Analysis)
Numerical simulation is essential to electrical engineers working in antenna design, wireless communications, optical systems, and a host of other areas. This new applications-focused book provides engineers with state-of-the-art methods for predicting simulation accuracy, worked-out results for dozens of real-world problems, the latest accuracy-improving techniques, and detailed guidance for all parameters required to optimize numerical simulations.
The universe is limitless! It contains stars, solar systems, galaxies, black holes and much more. Universe looks at these wonders-all incredible, all unique and all just a small part of a larger entity. Students will explore some big questions about the universe, including: How was it formed? How big is it? How can we explore the far reaches of the universe? They’ll learn about light years and the electromagnetic spectrum and take a close-up look at a gamma ray telescope. A fun, hands-on activity will demonstrate why it seems so dark in space
