  2. Electromagnetic shielding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_shielding

    Electromagnetic shielding that blocks radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic radiation is also known as RF shielding. EMF shielding serves to minimize electromagnetic interference. The shielding can reduce the coupling of radio waves, electromagnetic fields, and electrostatic fields.

  3. Faraday cage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_cage

    The reception or transmission of radio waves, a form of electromagnetic radiation, to or from an antenna within a Faraday cage is heavily attenuated or blocked by the cage; however, a Faraday cage has varied attenuation depending on wave form, frequency, or the distance from receiver or transmitter, and receiver or transmitter power.

  4. Radiation-absorbent material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation-absorbent_material

    An RF anechoic chamber used for EMC testing. In materials science, radiation-absorbent material (RAM) is a material which has been specially designed and shaped to absorb incident RF radiation (also known as non-ionising radiation), as effectively as possible, from as many incident directions as possible.

  5. Double-slit experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-slit_experiment

    The experiment belongs to a general class of "double path" experiments, in which a wave is split into two separate waves (the wave is typically made of many photons and better referred to as a wave front, not to be confused with the wave properties of the individual photon) that later combine into a single wave.

  6. Rutherford scattering experiments - Wikipedia

    It was designed to precisely measure how the scattering varied according to the substance and thickness of the foil. A 1910 paper [38] by Geiger, The Scattering of the α-Particles by Matter, describes an experiment to measure how the most probable angle through which an alpha particle is deflected varies with the material it passes through ...

  7. Radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation

    Symbol for radio waves . Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum longer than infrared light. Like all other electromagnetic waves, they travel at the speed of light. Naturally occurring radio waves are made by lightning, or by certain astronomical objects.

  8. Heinrich Hertz - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Hertz

    Heinrich Rudolf Hertz (/ h ɜːr t s / HURTS; German: [ˈhaɪnʁɪç hɛʁts]; [1] [2] 22 February 1857 – 1 January 1894) was a German physicist, who first conclusively proved the existence of the electromagnetic waves predicted by James Clerk Maxwell's equations of electromagnetism, laying the foundation for the radio and modern telecommunications.

  9. He also found that radio waves could be transmitted through different types of materials and were reflected by others, the key to radar. His experiments explain reflection, refraction, polarization, interference, and velocity of electromagnetic waves. 1893 – Victor Schumann discovers the vacuum ultraviolet spectrum.
