Course Description

PH232: Electromagnetism II

This course is to help junior level students more fully understand the phenomena of the propagation of electromagnetic fields in free space and inside matter, of the radiation emission by moving charges, and of representations of the electromagnetic field in a moving reference frame at the intermediate level.   Topics include: Electromagnetic wave propagation and boundary conditions on the field vectors, Radiation emission, Electrodynamics, Special theory of relativity.

Recommended Topical Prerequisites: advanced calculus, vector analysis, differential equations, boundary value problems.
