This lecture discusses the link between optical and electrical properties in materials with free electrons, exploring equations of motion, conductivity, and the relationship between electron density, plasma frequency, and conductivity. It also delves into the calculation of skin depth and absorption coefficient, highlighting the direct connection between conductivity and optical properties.
