free-space characteristic impedance
1Impedance of free space — The impedance of free space, Z0, is a physical constant relating the magnitudes of the electric and magnetic fields of electromagnetic radiation travelling through free space. That is, Z0 = |E|/|H|, where |E| is the electric field strength and… …
2Free space — In classical physics, free space is a concept of electromagnetic theory, corresponding to a theoretically perfect vacuum, and sometimes referred to as the vacuum of free space. The definitions of the ampere and meter SI units are based upon… …
