Plane-polarised Light

What is Polarisation? Polarisation is a phenomenon that occurs by the electromagnetic wave nature radiation. The sun’s light moves through the vacuum until it reaches the Earth. This could be an instance of an electromagnetic wave.  They are known as electromagnetic waves due to the fact that they arise when an electric field interacts with […]

Particle nature of light

According to Albert Einstein, electromagnetic energy is contained in quanta or packets, often referred to as photons. In accordance with the earlier observations, the wavelength of light had a huge impact on the electrons that were ejected. Additionally, the intensity of light directly affects the electrons that are released. This is a sign of its

Need For Modulation

General Modulation is the process of converting data into radio waves by adding information to an electronic or optical carrier signal. A Carrier signal is one that has a constant waveform- constant height, or amplitude, and frequency. Working of Modulation Modulations are often applied to the electromagnetic signals: radio waves, laser / optics and computer

Infrared Radiation

Infrared light, commonly referred as infrared radiation, is a type of electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength of up to 1050 nm. Since it is much higher than visible light, it can only be recognized by the human eye under certain circumstances. Electromagnetic Waves Everything in our environment, including the sun, the earth, and other bodies, emits

Incoherent Sources

Light is electromagnetic radiation that the human eye can detect. In the 1870s, Maxwell explained that electric fields coupled with magnetic fields produce electromagnetic waves. These waves didn’t require any medium for propagation. Light exhibits both particle and wave behavior. Light exhibits a photoelectric effect as proof of its particle nature. Light as a wave

High Range Transmission

In Physics, transmission is the method of propagating an analogue or digital signal employing a wired, optical, or wireless magnetic attraction transmission medium. Transmission technologies usually ask physical layer protocol duties like modulation, reception, line committal to writing, feat, error management, bit synchronisation, and multiplexing; however, it’s going to additionally involve higher-layer protocol duties as
