ABSTRACT: This project was carried out to know the physics and mechanism behind the effect of radiation on electromagnetic wave. A brief history of electromagnetic wave will be discuss thereby exposing the laws of electric and magnetic field etc, electromagnetic spectrum and the properties of atmosphere with respect to various parts of electromagnetic spectrum. The derivation of the four Maxwell equations both the integral and differential forms and the derivation of electric potential due to electric dipole antenna cause by the effect of radiation and the radiation resistance.
