Covers the nature of electromagnetic waves, including plane waves and photons, their wavelength, period, and dispersion relationship, and the electromagnetic spectrum.
Discusses wave-matter interactions, focusing on diffraction and diffusion phenomena, including principles of reflection, refraction, and the significance of X-ray interactions.
Explores polarization effects in e-m waves interacting with matter, including monochromatic waves, velocities in metals, decomposition, birefringence, and stress analysis.
