Poynting Vector & Radiation Pressure

This lecture covers the visualization of electromagnetic waves, decomposition of E field vectors, circularly and linearly polarized waves, energy and momentum transfer, introduction of the Poynting vector, energy conservation, and radiation pressure. The instructor explains the relationship between energy density, pointing vector, intensity, and momentum transfer in electromagnetic waves, as well as the concept of photon as a particle-wave duality. The lecture concludes with the discussion of photon properties, energy quantization, and its relation to quantum physics.
