Polarization Effects: E-M Waves Interacting with Matter

Description

This lecture covers the different aspects of polarization effects in electromagnetic waves interacting with matter, including the concept of monochromatic waves, velocities of e-m waves in metals, decomposition in p- and s-polarized waves, birefringence, and stress analysis in transparent materials. It also discusses the decay length of green light in aluminum according to Lambert-Beer law.
