This lecture covers the interaction of electromagnetic waves with matter, focusing on transmission, absorption, and reflection. It explains how waves interact with charges in atoms, leading to absorption and re-emission. The lecture also discusses the frequency and wavelength of electromagnetic waves in matter, as well as the description of waves in transparent materials according to Maxwell's equations.
