Characteristic impedance (Z0) is defined as E/H ratio of {E,H} field.
It depends on dielectric permettivity (epsilon), magnetic permettivity (mu) and geometry of region in which {E,H} propagates.
For free space, it's easy to believe that geometry coefficient is 1 and in the end, you get
-> Z0= square root (mu 0 / epsilon 0) = 120 pi,
where subscript 0 means mu and epsilon referred to free space and pi=3.14...
If you want to demonstrate that, you have to solve Maxwell's equation, imposing the condition of uniform plane wave travelling into free space, so you'll get an Helmholtz equation for Coulomb electric potential phi (you have to apply Lorentz's gauge condition and you'll get laplacian(phi) + k^2 phi = 0, where k=2*pi*frequency/c0 is called wave number). You solve this equation and put it into the equation linking magnetic potential vector (A) and phi. At this point, you can solve Maxwell equations and get E,H values and modulus ratio (Z0).
377 ohms OR 120pie
The opening angle of a pyramidal horn antenna is to match the impedance of the horn antenna to that of free space. With this enlargement of the dimension, the velocity of the wave travelling will decrease. This will increase the guide wavelength, which in turn increases the impedance of the horn. This gives an impedance value closer to that of free space there by giving better power transfer.
Properties of an op-amp are as follows: 1.Very high open loop gain which remains constant over the frequency range in which the device is to be used. 2.Very high input impedance to minimize the current drawn by the circuit with little losses. 3.Very low output impedance 4. They are stable, i.e. not liable to burst into parasitic oscillation. 5. They are free from drift caused by ambient temperature changes.
The space wave is the wave that propagates directly through free space, rather than via some other object or medium like the ground.
Use a pointer... int a*; a = malloc(sizeof(int)*100); //allocate space for 100 elements free(a); a = malloc(sizeof(int)*1000); // allocate space for 1000 elements free(a);
Electical impedance of air is just under 377 Ohms. It depends on humidity and other factors. Dry air is close to free space. Scroll down to related links and look at "Characteristic impedance of free space ".

Light travels through the "free Space Impedance z= 375 Ohms. Maxwell called this the Ether.
The particles are spread out, free to move. A gas will fill the space it is introduced into.
Space but i think only in free i do not now if i occures but i now about free mode
The current value is 376.73 Ohms. For practical purposes, 120 x pi suffices. There are separate values for the electrical and the magnetic components. If the Ampere is redefined in 2015, this value will change.
One specification listed for waveguide or coax cable is its "velocity factor". This is the fraction that represents the speed of E&M within the medium compared with the speed of light in free space. It's always less than 1. For some media, as little as 65%. Since wavelength is (speed)/(frequency), lower speed directly implies shorter wavelength in the guide. This is important when the transmission line is not terminated in its characteristic impedance, and its 'electrical length' ... length measured in wavelengths ... directly influences the load characteristics at the source.
The speed of light c,"free space impedance z, Planck's Constant h and Newton's Gravity Constant G. Planck's Constant h and the free space impedance z are related, by two electromagnetic constants, W and C. h = WC and z= W/C. W = 500E-18 Webers (volt second) and C= 4/3 E-18 Coulombs. h=zC2. The Photon has charge C and is represented as quark (13U,1d).
Because "Empty space" is not empty. Maxwell believed in an Aether that propagted the radiation. This Aether exists as the free space impedance z=375 ohms. This impedance is related to Planck's Constant h=QWb and z=Wb/Q. Q and Wb are the Quantum Electric Charge Q=4/3 E-18 Coulombs and Wb =500E-18 Quantum magnetic Charge in Webers (Volt second). Q is the Photon Charge and is Quark Q=(13U,1d).
Vector spaces should be homgeneous, namely have all on one type vector E or H. E= zH is the relationship between E and H, where z is the free space impedance. E +iH is like adding volts and amperes.
The Fundamental Quantum Charge is Q = 4/3 E-18 Coulombs = (h/z)1/2 where z is the free space impedance/resistance 375 ohms and h is Planck's Constant.
