Learning Outcomes |
|
Students should have an understanding of the properties of solutions to the wave equation for electromagnetic fields in free space and in matter (non-dispersive and dispersive dielectrics, and conductors). |
|
Students should have an understanding of the behaviour of electromagnetic waves at boundaries. |
|
Students should have an understanding of the behaviour of electromagnetic waves in cavities, waveguides and transmission lines. |
|
Students should have an understanding of the properties of electric dipole radiation. |
|
Students should have the ability to explain an explicity covariant formulation of electromagnetism in special relativity. |
