Maxwell showed that the speed of an electromagnetic wave depends on the penneability and pennittivity of the medium through which it travels. The speed of an electromagnetic wave in free space is given by $\text{c}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_0\in_0}}.$ The fact led Maxwell to predict that light is an electromagnetic wave. The emergence of the speed of light from purely electromagnetic considerations is the crowning achievement of Maxwell's electromagnetic theory. The speed of an electromagnetic wave in any medium of permeability $\mu$ and pennittivity $\in$ will be $\frac{\text{c}}{\sqrt{\text{K}\mu_\text{r}}}$ where K is the dielectric constant of the medium and $\mu,$ is the relative permeability.

At room temperature, most of the H-atoms are in ground state. When an atom receives some energy (i.e., by electron collisions), the atom may acquire sufficient energy to raise electron to higher energy state. In this condition, the atom is said to be in excited state. From the excited state, the electron can fall back to a state of lower energy emitting a photon equal to the energy difference of the orbit.

Moving coil galvanometer operates on Permanent Magnet Moving Coil (PMMC) mechanism and was designed by the scientist D'arsonval. Moving coil galvanometers are of two types.
  1. Suspended coil.
  2. Pivoted coil type or tangent galvanometer.

The lens maker's formula relates the focallength of a lens to the refractive index of the lens material and the radii of curvature of its two surfaces. This formula is called so because it is used by manufacturers to design lenses of required focal length from a glass of given refractive index.
If the object is placed at infinity, the image will be fanned at focus for both double convex lens and double concave lens.
Therefore, lens maker's formula is, $\frac{1}{\text{f}}=[\frac{\mu_2-\mu_1}{\mu_1}][\frac{1}{\text{R}_1}-\frac{1}{\text{R}_2}]$
When lens is placed in air, $\mu_1=1$ and $\mu_2=\mu.$ The lens maker formula takes the form, $\frac{1}{\text{f}}=(\mu-1)[\frac{1}{\text{R}_1}-\frac{1}{\text{R}_2}]$

Electrons oscillating in a circuit give rise to radiowaves. A transmitting antenna radiates most effectively the radiowaves of wavelength equal to the size of the antenna. The infrared waves incident on a substance set into oscillation all its electrons, atoms and molecules. This increases the internal energy and hence the temperature of the substance.
