Lecture

Energy Transfer in Electromagnetic Waves

Description

This lecture discusses the concept of energy transfer in electromagnetic waves, focusing on the pointing vector as a formalism to describe it. The time average energy and intensity of a wave are explored, along with the momentum and radiation pressure associated with electromagnetic waves. The lecture also briefly touches on linear and angular momentum, providing a foundation for understanding light interactions with electrons and orbitals.
