beat phenomenon.

 Metal detector circuit consists of

inductor and capacitor.

 Choke

Choke(Inductive Coil):

It is a coil which consists of thick wire wound closely in a large number of turns
over a soft iron laminated cores.
This makes the inductance L of the coil quite large whereas its resistance R is
very small. Thus it consumes extremely small power.

Uses:

 It is used in AC circuits to limit current with extremely small wastage of

energy as compared to a Resistance or a rheostat.

0302-6066902 19
 Electromagnetic Waves:

Electromagnetic waves:
 Maxwell Equation in 1864 to explain electromagnetic phenomenon.
 Experimentally EMW was derived by Frank Hertz.
 Requires no medium for transmission and which rapidly Propagates
through vacuum are called electromagnetic waves.
 Speed of EMV = 3 ×108 m/s
 Changing E fields create B while changing B created E.
 EMV are produced by both changing E and B.

 E= ( ) , B= ( )
2𝜋𝑟 Δ𝑡 2𝜋𝑟 Δ𝑡
 In EMV, E and B are perpendicular to each other.
 EMW depends upon frequency and wavelength.

 If light wave travels from Rarer medium to denser medium then which of
the following will not change:
a) speed b) wavelength c) Amplitude d) frequency

𝑣
v = fλ f=
λ

V∝λ f = constant

 If light travels from rarer to denser medium then its speed, wavelength
and amplitude decreases but frequency does not change.

 If light travels from denser to rarer medium then its speed,

wavelength and amplitude increases but frequency remains same.
21
 When there is a change in medium then frequency remains same.

Types of Electromagnetic Waves:

 Light: Wavelength 400nm (violet) to 700 nm (red). E=
λ

 Infrared(heat waves): Wavelength 0.7 μm to 1mm.

 Object temperature range from 3K to 3000K emits I.R

 Human body also emits I.R.

 Types of Electromagnetic Waves:

 Microwaves: Wavelength 1mm to 1m.

 Use to transmit call.

 Common extra terrestrial source of MW emitting radiation of λ = 21 cm.

 Radio-waves: Wavelength longer than 1m.

 Produced by terrestrial sources through electrons oscillating in wire of
electric circuit .
 Mapping the radio Emission from extra terrestrial source known as
Radio Astronomy.

 Types of Electromagnetic Waves:

 Ultraviolet Waves: Wavelength 1nm to 400nm.

 Cause of sun burn is UV.

Principle of generation of electromagnetic waves:
The basic principle of generation of electromagnetic waves is:
“A changing magnetic flux creates an electric field and a changing electric
flux creates magnetic field”

Electrons vibrates 94,000 times per second

f = 94KHz

0302-6066902 27
Reception of electromagnetic waves:
A particular radio station can be selected on a radio set by tuning it. When
the frequency of the LC-oscillator in the radio set is equal to the frequency of
the radio wave from a particular radio station a resonance is produced. The
current of this signal becomes maximum and can detected and amplified.
Note:
In your radio set when you change stations, you actually adjust the value of
capacitance.

0302-6066902 28
 Modulation:

 Modulation is the process of combining the low frequency signal with a

high frequency radio wave called carrier wave.
 The resultant wave is called modulated carrier wave.
 The low frequency signal is Known as modulation signal.

Modulation is achieved by changing the:

 Amplitude
Or the frequency of the carrier wave in accordance with the modulating
signal.

0302-6066902 29
 There are two types of modulations:

Amplitude Modulation:
In this type of modulation the amplitude of the carrier wave is increased
or diminished as the Amplitude of the superposing modulating signal
increases or decreases.
The A.M transmission frequencies range from 540 kHz to 1600kHz.

Frequency Modulation:
In this type of modulation the frequency of the carrier wave is increased or
diminished as the superposing modulating signal amplitude increases or
decreases but the carrier wave amplitude remains constant.

0302-6066902 30
 The F.M transmission frequencies are much higher and ranges between
88MHz to 108 MHz.

 F.M radio waves are affected less by electrical interference than A.M
radio waves and hence Provide a higher quality transmission of sound.

 FM is preferred over AM. FM has higher energy than AM. FM has less
noise as compared to AM. FM moves in straight line as compared toAM.
FM has less power loss as compared to AM

 However they have a shorter range than A.M waves and are less able to
travel around obstacles such as hills and large buildings.
