This lecture covers the fundamental concepts of electromagnetism, starting with Maxwell's equations and the properties of electromagnetic waves. It explains the conditions required for the emission of electromagnetic waves, the polarization of EM waves, and the role of accelerating charges in generating them. The lecture also delves into the behavior of EM waves in LC circuits, the detection of EM waves by Heinrich Hertz, and the practical applications of radio waves in communication.
