The electric field spreads into space proportional to the amount of static charge and how closely you space the static charges
Magnetic field lines are closed loops and always return to the source creating them
An electric field, resembling a magnetic field in shape, can be created by a time-varying magnetic field.
There are two ways to produce a magnetic field: 1) by a current and 2) by a time-varying electric field.

Maxwell’s Equations for Vacuum
In vacuum, there is no charge so renc=0
Since no charge, no currents enclosed so J=0
Note the symmetry of the equations i.e. they look practically the same!! dt

The Wave Equation
This equation is called a wave equation.
In order to simplify the math, let’s just work with 1-dimension i.e. in the x-direction

So the solution for E and B are mathematically similar
Now, let’s assign a direction for E in the y-direction

The wave is called transverse; both E and B are perpendicular to the propagation of the wave. The direction of propagation is in the direction of E x B.
E=cB The wave travels in vacuum with a definite and unchanging
speed What is the wave propagating through?

“Common Sense” on Waves
Ocean waves propagate in water Sound waves propagate in air Mechanical waves propagate through material
where they are transmitting Ergo, the 19th Century physicists thought that
EM waves propagate through the “ether”. Ether surrounds us and we move through it
without any drag.
![Page 15: Chapter 32](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082411/56812c59550346895d90e51f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Michelson-Morley Experiment
In 1887, Michelson and Morley invented an experiment to measure the speed of light in the direction of Earth’s motion and in the direction against Earth’s motion
If there is ether, then there should be a slight difference in the speed of light.
Michelson-Morley found NO evidence of any difference of the speed of light.
Why?

The New Physics
Actually, if they trusted their equations, they would have seen that there is no need to have a medium

17
A completely different direction
Einstein thought about the results of the MM experiment.
He assumed that there was no mistake and the c is always constant
The Postulates of Special Relativity1. The laws of physics are the same in every inertial frame of
reference2. The speed of light in vacuum is the same in all inertial
frames of reference and is independent of the motion of the source
This is the beginning of the new physics of the 20th century
From here, we can get E=mc2 and from there, quantum mechanics

Waves in Matter
Recall =k0

c=1/sqrt(0)Let v=speed of light in a material
v=1/sqrt() < cv=c/sqrt(k*m)
Index of refraction, nn=c/v=sqrt(k*m)

Radiation Pattern
The Poynting Vector, S,describes the energy flow per unit area and per unit time through a cross-sectional area perpendicular to propagation direction
S=(E x B)/0
The “intensity” of the EM wave in vacuum is defined as I=Sav=(E0B0)/20= ½ 0cE0
