EM to Optics 8 : Maxwell's Equations
Channel: Adam Beatty
Date: 2013-10-19

In this video I continue with my tutorials on Electromagnetism to Optics which is pitched at university undergraduate level. I have intended for a long time to record videos which describe the transition made from classical electromagnetism to optics. In many respects these videos will cover 'wave' optics. I devote much time to discussing the complex exponential representation of waves, Maxwell's Equations, the wave equation etc.   I would like to apologise for my hand writing - I have just bought a new tablet and am getting used to writing with it. I can assure you that it is better for later videos!

Specifically here, I give a reasonably thorough summary of my work on Maxwell's Equations to date. For this reason, this is by far my longest video recorded but that's unavoidable. At the end of the video I discuss radiation and the Lorentz/Coulomb Gauges. This video represents the culmination of hours of work and recording in the past and is my best effort at explaining what are perhaps for of the most important equations ever derived.

I hope it's of use!! Thank you for watching and I hope that this matches your requirements. Please feel free to provide feedback via comments and share with your friends.
