Introduces the basics of wave propagation, covering longitudinal and transverse waves, superposition, reflection, d'Alembert equation, Fourier decomposition, and wave surfaces.
Explores electromagnetic waves' energy, momentum, and radiation pressure, including forces generated by radiation pressure and the transmission of waves through Earth's atmosphere.
Explores electromagnetic radiation interaction with matter, covering absorption, diffusion, reflection, and refraction, with practical examples like the color of the sky and moon darkness.
