Oh, wow, oh, oh, oh, wow, oh, oh, wow.

Oh, wow.

Oh, my. Hello, you're listening to the Science of Everything podcast, episode 98,

electromagnetic radiation. I'm your host, James Fodor.

So, in this episode, we are going to pick up from where we left off way back in episode 61 on magnetism,

which in turn follows on from episode 57, electric, current, and circuits.

So I strongly recommend that you listen to both of those prior to listening to this one,

because I'm going to assume a modest amount of knowledge.

I'm not going to go over and explain all the details of electric charge and magnets and so forth.

I'm going to assume you have the basic knowledge of that.

And what I'm going to talk about in this episode is how the interaction between the electric and magnetic fields gives rise to electromagnetic radiation and the various phenomena

that arise as a result of that, in particular the electric magnetic spectrum, radio and TV.

I'll talk a bit about the speed of light. I'll talk about radiation and antennae. And I'll also, at the end, just for a bit of extra interest, I'll talk a bit about the speed of light, I'll talk about radiation and antennae, and also, at the end, just for a bit of extra interest, I've thrown in some discussion about microwave ovens and a bit of discussion about how they were.

Also, before we jump in, I want to apologise for the length of time since the previous episode.

It's been quite a few months now, and I feel bad

about that. I've been wanting to get this episode out for a while. I've had a number of

personal issues lately that have been taking up my time to deal with, essentially. I've been

experiencing a fair bit of depression, and yeah, that's not conducive to, you know,

maximal productivity with respect to podcast episodes. So I think things are a bit better now,

so that's on a positive trajectory, which is nice. But at any rate, I do apologize for that,

and I'm hoping that there will be an increased frequency of episode production going forward.

Okay, so I've already told you about the recommended prerequisites, so let's just jump straight in and introduce the concept of electromagnetic waves.
