Theory of Electromagnetic Pulses

Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on the theory of electromagnetic pulses, this monograph simplifies complex concepts through exact solutions of the Maxwell equations. It consists of five chapters covering Fundamentals, Wave Equation Solutions, Electromagnetic Pulses, Angular Momentum, and Lorentz Transformations. Additionally, nine appendices delve into mathematical aspects and related topics, such as chiral measures of electromagnetic fields. While primarily addressing free-space classical electrodynamics, it also connects to quantum theory by demonstrating the equivalence of causal pulses to photon superpositions.
