Maxwell’s Equations Differential forms electromagnetic waves y x z E ⊥ B, and E ⊥ k, B ⊥ k, k is the direction of the wave. Polarization of electromagnetic waves E and B are in phase The speed of electromagnetic wave
3
Energy Transport and the Poynting Vector The direction of the propagation of the electromagnetic wave is given by: This wave carries energy. This energy transport is defined by the Poynting vector S as: x y
4
Find the Poynting vector at point P parallel-plate capacitor of radius R. a conducting current i Example: Q O E B S Q O E B S charge increase field increase energy increase
5
(1)Find the E and B at point P (2) Find the Poynting vector at point P A conducting current i in a wire with radius R and resistivity . Example: L

Radio waves Microwaves Infrared radiation visible region Ultraviolet X raysGamma rays The sensitivity of the human eye as a function of wavelength
12
The Wavelength vs Temperature

14
The speed of light Propagation of light in matter The speed of light in a material depends on the the frequency or wavelength. The phase change
15
Reflection and refraction of light waves Reflection: Refraction: Index of refraction: n

17
Reflection and refraction of electromagnetic waves
18
Total Internal Reflection In case of n i larger than n R
19
Examples: refraction at water/air interface Diver sees all of horizon refracted into a 97°cone. Diver ’ s illusion
20
Optical fiber: At each contact the glass air interface, if the light hits at greater than the critical angle, it undergoes total internal reflection and stays in the fiber. Total Internal Reflection only works if n outside < n inside n inside n outside Optical fiber

Huygens ’ Principle: All points on a wavefront can be considered as point sources for the production of spherical secondary wavelets. After a time t the new position of a wavefront is the surface tangent to these secondary wavelets.

Fermat’s Principle: A B A light ray traveling from one fixes point to another fixed point follows a path such that, compared with nearby paths, the time requires is either a minimum or a maximum or remains unchange (that is, stationary). A B P d xd-x θ1θ1 ’1’1 ab

31
Why is the sky blue? Light from Sun scatters off of air particles–– Rayleigh scattering is wavelength-dependent, More scatter for shorter wavelengths (blue end of the visible spectrum) Less scatter for longer wavelengths (red end of the visible spectrum)
32
Sun light red and orange longer wavelengths scatter less Shorter wavelengths scatter more blue This is also why sunsets are red
