This lecture covers the interference of electromagnetic waves, including the superposition of waves, Huygen's principle, and interference patterns. It explains how standing waves are formed and how interference redistributes wave energy in space while conserving energy. The instructor discusses the concept of Poynting vector and the spatial variation of energy density in electromagnetic waves.
