Electric And Magnetic Fields

Electromagnetic theory covers the basic principles of electromagnetism. This chapter explores relationships between electric and magnetic fields. The chapter describes the behaviour of electromagnetic wave. The four sets of Maxwell's equations which underpin the principles of electromagnetism are briefly explained. An illustration on wave polarization and propagation is presented. The author describes the classification of waves according to their wavelengths (i.e. the electromagnetic spectrum).

Matrix Problems

Four two-ordered basis matrices were introduced to deduct Stokes parameter representing electromagnetic wave polarization. Two of them have algebra features similar to unity and imaginary of complex number, so an exponential function was defined which can easily express some matrix operation such as coordination rotation in 2-dimension. The other 2 basis matrices were also incorporated to deduce the Stokes parameters. The four matrices have some fatigue algebra structure which was incorporated in deduction. The coordinate transformation was converted to some matrix problems and we get a more concise result.
