Physics: Advanced Electromagnetism

Education facts

Code: FYSN23

<p>Electromagnetic radiation is probably the most important issue in physics and technology. It is the basis of most communication, the main tool to investigate materials and also relevant for energy transfer.</p><p>In this course the students shall learn to apply Maxwell's equations to study the generation, propagation, and absorption of electromagnetic radiation. In particular, antennas, synchrotron radiation, wave-guides, and dispersion are considered in detail. For this purpose a variety of advanced tools, such as Lienard-Wiechert potentials and Kramers-Kronig relations, are provided.</p> <p>Additionally, an introduction to special relativity and its relation to electrodynamics is given.</p> <p>A project, where the students address topical issues, complements the course.</p><p>https://canvas.education.lu.se/courses/12001</p>
