Phys 225 Week 2 6 - Detailed Analysis & Overview
Brief discussion on extending the wave equation to 3D and interpreting the 3D plane wave solution. Review of the Maxwell's equations leading up to the derivation of the electromagnetic wave equation. Example of a problem with the doppler effect. Discuss briefly different examples of waves. Photoelectric effect and blackbody ratiation as a motivator for quantization of EM energy. Developes the form of the standing wave with both cosine and the complex exponential.
Develops the wave equation for sound waves. Shows how the plane wave (transverse electromagnetic wave) agrees with Maxwell's equations, and develops the wave ...
