EM to Optics 2 a : Travelling waves x+-vt 1/2

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. 

Specifically here, I derive the functional form of a wave. Usually we use x+-vt for a travelling wave and I outline why we do that.

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.
