Lecture

Intensity: Light, Heat, and Energy Transport

Description

This lecture delves into the generation of heat through the interaction of light with matter, leading to temperature elevation and phase transitions. It explores how electromagnetic waves transport energy, quantified by intensity, crucial for processes like material melting. The electric field distribution, Maxwell's equations, and the transfer of energy through surfaces are also discussed.
