Description

This lecture covers the properties of monochromatic electromagnetic plane waves, including the harmonic functions of the electric and magnetic fields in time and space. It also discusses Maxwell's equations for plane waves, the different polarizations of electromagnetic waves, and the reflection and refraction phenomena, including Snell's law and the conservation of field components and momentum. The lecture concludes with the Fresnel coefficients for nonlossy, nonmagnetic materials and the optical phenomena under total internal reflection.
