Phys 225 Week 3 2 - Detailed Analysis & Overview
Developes the form of the standing wave with both cosine and the complex exponential. Shows how the plane wave (transverse electromagnetic wave) agrees with Maxwell's equations, and develops the wave ... Brief discussion on extending the wave equation to 3D and interpreting the 3D plane wave solution. Discuss the effect of boundary conditions on the standing wave. Quantization of light through the photoelectric effect and quantization of electron energy levels through the Franck-Hertz ... Review of the Maxwell's equations leading up to the derivation of the electromagnetic wave equation.
Introduces the general look and vocabulary of the standing wave. Derives the equations for the bright and dark fringes for the double slit interference using the small angle approximation. Linear polarization and the working principle of LCD. Numerical example to demonstrate how to compare
