Electromagnetic waves are made up of Electric Fields (often called the E-field) and Magnetic fields (also known as H-fields). What is an H-field?
The H-field is a vector quantity (has a magnitude and ...
The Wave Vector (or wavevector) refers to a vector that describes the phase variation of a plane wave, in 3-orthogonal directions (x, y, and z-axes typically). The magnitude of the wavevector is the w ...
The intrinsic impedance is a property of a medium - an area of space. For a vacuum (outer space) or for wave propagation through the air around earth (often called 'free space'), the intrinsic impedan ...
