  1. Sketch a portion of an EMR wave showing the electric field in the vertical direction along a spatial horizontal axis. Label the axes, try to show at least two wavelengths, and point out what is meant by the ‘wavelength’. EMR can have a very wide range of wavelengths. As you may already know, different types of electromagnetic waves have been defined based on their wavelength ranges.
  2. Now, try to imagine what the wave might look like if you were able to view the behavior of the electric field as a function of time at one specific point in space. Use the graph paper just above to sketch what the behavior of the electric field of the wave would be like. Show at least 2 to 3 full cycles. Again, label the axes to the best of your ability. On the diagram, show the 'period’. Use the space below to describe in your own words what is meant by the 'period' of the wave.
