Electromagnetic Waves: Basics and Applications

This lecture covers the fundamentals of optics, including quantum optics, wavy optics, electromagnetic optics, and geometric optics. It delves into the interaction of light with matter, Maxwell's equations, and the development of the equation of electromagnetic waves. The lecture also explores wave propagation, wave equations, and the energy of electromagnetic waves. Additionally, it discusses the concepts of polarization, dispersion, anisotropy, and non-linearity in dielectric materials. The presentation concludes with a detailed explanation of plane waves, spherical waves, and cylindrical waves, as well as the quantization of the electromagnetic field in quantum mechanics.
