 Introduction

In introducing the document's usually described, and a brief explanation or summary thereof is
given. A reader to read the introduction should be able to get an idea about the content of the
text before reading itself. (4 to 10 lines).

Questions: (write with your own words)

1. What do you mean propagation medium open for electromagnetic waves?

2. Within the propagation mediums, what is mean by the tangent of losses?
3. Of what physical variables does the value of the tangent of losses depend?
4. How are the propagation medium classified from the tangent of losses?
5. What are the propagation parameters of the waves through a medium?

Application exercises:

1. Calculate the tangent of losses Tan (δ) and the angle of losses δ of the medium
chosen in Table 1, if through it travel an electromagnetic wave E of frequency
𝑓 = 𝐶𝐶𝐶 𝑀𝐻𝑧. Note that 𝐶𝐶𝐶 are the first 3 digits of your identification number:

Conclusions

Conclusion 1:
Conclusion 2:

The conclusions should be written with their own words and should focus on the
concepts explored, learned, discovered and practiced in the development of the activity,
it is suggested to present a conclusion by topic, the result of learning obtained as
evidence of conceptual assimilation.

To obtain a good writing it is suggested to read the written several times, correcting
and adjusting the text until obtaining a clear and coherent postulate. Avoid superficiality
and simplicity.
