Course content
- Basic terms, definitions and experimental sources of the Maxwell theory. - Basic equations of the Maxwell theory. - Propagation of electromagnetic waves in a zero-loss indefinite medium. Homogenous wave equation, solution, properties of solution. - Polarization of electromagnetic waves, energy transmitted by monochromatic waves. Spherical waves. - Propagation of electromagnetic waves in a loss indefinite medium. Generaqlized wave equation, its solution for the monochromatic waves, properties of solution. Energy transmitted by waves, true absorption. - Propagation of electromagnetic waves in dielectric anisotropic crystals. - Electromagnetic waves at the interface of two media. Derivation of the law of reflection and refraction and Fresnel equations at the interface of the two zero-loss media from the boundary conditions. - Reflectance and transmittance of the interface of the two zero-loss media. - Total reflection at the interface of the two zero-loss media. Properties of the reflected and the refracted waves. - Kirchhoff theory of diffraction, Kirchhoff integral equation and its assumptions. - Calculation of the complex amplitude (disturbance) in the case of point source. - Fraunhofer diffraction at a basic types of apertures.
