Re: [Phys-l] Amplitude in E&M



Hi all-
I offer this as a suggestion as to how all such questions should be answered:
Hi Zeke. Could you say more about your question? Are you asking about waves that hve now amplitude" It might help to tellus what prompted the question.
Regards,
Jack

Two questions

1. Would it be reasonable to say (that is, pedagogically a good idea) that an electromagnetic wave has an amplitude? 

2. Why are microwaves reflected by a piece of metal and not gamma rays? Don't both have a skin effect?

Thank you.
