Impedance of free space

In electromagnetism, 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, Z 0 = | E | | H | , {\displaystyle Z_{0}={\frac {|\mathbf {E} |}{|\mathbf {H} |}},} where |E| is the electric field strength, and |H| is the magnetic field strength.
