This lecture covers the properties of electromagnetic waves, including the relationship between wavelength and electromagnetic spectrum, the Helmholtz equation, impedance, Poynting vector, and conservation of energy. It also discusses physical solutions like spherical and cylindrical waves, the oscillating dipole as a wave source, and the momentum and energy of photons in total reflection and absorption scenarios.
