This lecture covers the wave equations for electromagnetic waves, the Poynting vector, energy transport, radiation pressure, and the intensity of waves. It explains how electromagnetic waves transport energy and momentum, and how the Poynting vector describes energy flow. The lecture also discusses the momentum carried by electromagnetic waves, the interaction of waves with matter, and the concept of radiation pressure.
