If Light is also an electromagnetic wave with frequency then can we detect wave of light with suitable metal antenna? And also the light created by candle, wood is an electromagnetic (electricity+magnet)? Sounds interesting to me.
Hi, Always I have found the wavelength of light instead of frequency of light. Wavelength maybe around nanometer (depends of colors of light maybe). Can we express the frequency of light in words/numbers?Look up the frequency of light, then determine the wavelength of the suitable antenna.
Solar panel (photocell) generates electricity based in the theory exactly as your are saying here, by capturing electrical energy of the light directly?The size needed for a metal antenna for light is tiny but with modern nanotechnology we can build dipole metal antennas for light to directly capture electrical energy.
Now it's a turn to ask about space: Universe has no limitation about its size. Space is totally empty (no gas, no humidity, no cloud, no air). Then why sun cannot send its light to FAR..........universe? Why we cannot get light from extremely huge stars at night like the sun? Actual question is what is the thing that blocks light and RF in space after certain distance?EM waves are one method the universe has to transmit changes from one part of space to another part of space. If a charged particle moves, the 'electric' force of the particle on other particles is sent by EM waves.

It turns out that any inertial frame will do. We will also see that magnetism and electricity are not independent things—that they should always be taken together as one complete electromagnetic field. Although in the static case Maxwell’s equations separate into two distinct pairs, one pair for electricity and one pair for magnetism, with no apparent connection between the two fields, nevertheless, in nature itself there is a very intimate relationship between them that arises from the principle of relativity. Historically, the principle of relativity was discovered after Maxwell’s equations. It was, in fact, the study of electricity and magnetism which led ultimately to Einstein’s discovery of his principle of relativity. But let’s see what our knowledge of relativity would tell us about magnetic forces if we assume that the relativity principle is applicable—as it is—to electromagnetism.
“The usually accepted view that the conductor current produces the magnetic field surrounding it must be displaced by the more appropriate one that the electromagnetic field surrounding the conductor produces, through a small drain on the energy supply, the current in the conductor. Although the value of the latter may be used in computing the transmitted energy, one should clearly recognize that physically this current produces only a loss and in no way has a direct part in the phenomenon of power transmission.”
“There it was, right in front of me in black and white! The current does not flow around a loop setting up a magnetic field as I had, along with countless other engineers, been taught in high school and university. It is the other way round. The electric current is but an artifact of a more fundamental entity.”
Hi again,
As I understand intensity of light (lets say- of the sun) goes weak due to spreading its waves around space and at last it cannot be seen from far universe. Is it a only one reason so that the light disappears in free space?
Then same thing happens to RF? What are the obstacles of RF in free space? Probably we could get more range from simple RF transmitter in space than the earth. (eg- in earth; wet earth, buildings, clouds, hills...are the obstacles of RF)
Observational data from nine pulsars, including the Crab pulsar, suggest these rapidly spinning neutron stars emit the electromagnetic equivalent of a sonic boom, and a model created to understand this phenomenon shows that the source of the emissions could be traveling faster than the speed of light. Researchers say as the polarization currents in these emissions are whipped around with a mechanism likened to a synchrotron, the sources could be traveling up to six times light speed, or 1.8 million km per second. However, although the source of the radiation exceeds the speed of light, the emitted radiation travels at normal light speed once it leaves the source. “This is not science fiction, and no laws of physics were broken in this model,” said John Singleton of Los Alamos National Laboratory at a press briefing at the American Astronomical Society meeting in Washington, DC. “And Einstein’s theory of Special Relativity is not violated.”
https://laacg.lanl.gov/superluminal/pubs/DRsummary.pdfThough a radiation source that exceeds the speed of light may sound like a violation of Special Relativity, the universal speed limit does not apply to a polarization current, since the carrier of the current is a pattern of electric polarization, rather than charged particles [4, 11, 12]. Such a pattern may be made to move faster than light by the coordinated subluminal motion of charged particles [11]. No laws of physics are broken and Maxwell’s equations, which are necessarily relativistic, can be used to predict the emitted radiation [4, 12].
The situation becomes even more unusual when the superluminal source also accelerates. Fig. 2b shows a superluminal source moving in a circle; here, the acceleration is centripetal [4, 12]. The Huygens wavelets now form a Cerenkov envelope consisting of an asymmetric two- ˇ sheet structure. It is relatively simple to show that an observer within the envelope will see an odd number (3, 5, 7. . . ) of images of the source (i.e., an odd number of retarded times), the exact number depending on the source speed [3]. The most remarkable effect, however, occurs where the two sheets meet tangentially on a cusp curve (Fig. 2b); an observer at this point will receive instantaneously contributions from an extended period of source time [2, 4, 12]. This unique effect, demonstrated experimentally by the machine shown in Fig. 1 [1, 2], represents focusing of radiation in the time domain to produce a concentration of electromagnetic energy. The initial work indicates that this temporal focusing has possible applications in radar [8] and long-range, low-power, secure communications. A related effect occurs when a source undergoes linear acceleration (Fig. 2c); here, there is an extreme concentration of emitted radiation caused by temporal focusing in a ring around the source’s path [13]. Our studies suggest directed energy applications for such a source.
1) Light and RF are just names for electromagnetic waves of different frequencies.
So, does radio signals have the same dual nature than light? Does the classic "double slit experiment" work the same way with light and radio signals? What about circular polarization.
