Description

This lecture covers the wave equation for electromagnetic waves, as derived by Maxwell, revealing the electromagnetic nature of light. It explains how electric and magnetic disturbances propagate at the speed of light, the electromagnetic spectrum, and the description of electromagnetic waves as plane waves far from the source. The mathematical description of a plane wave in 3D is also discussed, along with simulations on waves, including circularly polarized waves.
