We will only cover certain topics in these chapters but some of the home works will come from other sections.Light•James Clerk Maxwell (1831 - 1879) was a genius who studied the properties of Electricity and Magnetism. He took a mathematical approach. He published his first scientific paper when he was 15 years old.•The four mathematical equations Maxwell produced are ranked with Sir Isaac Newton's laws of motion and Albert Einstein's theory of relativity as the most fundamental contributions to (“classical” )physics. •Maxwell’s equations predicted that the electric field and the magnetic field could propagate through empty space.•The calculated velocity of these waves turned out to match the speed of light to a very close precision.•It was later demonstrated that these waves were, in fact, light waves.Propagation of Light•The electric and magnetic fields are predicted (and verified) to be perpendicular to each other.•The propagation velocity is found to be “c”, the speed of light in a vacuum.–c=3x108 m/sec.•Maxwell calculated that the speed of light in a vacuum to be0 01ce m=Propagation of Light0 01ce m=•Since the E and B fields (vectors) are perpendicular to the direction of propagation, the wave is said to be TANSVERSE.•Because of this fact, the light wave can be “polarized”•The wavelength  of the wave is shown in the diagram.•The product of the frequency and the wavelength is c so we see that light can come in different wavelengths (c is a constant)Colors – Different f and sOne Wavelength of light is that of a radio waveSir IssacThe Electromagnetic SpectrumPolarizationPolarizedUnpolarizedChanging It AroundCrossed Polarizer's can Transmit light!Big Money!Today’s Experiment•Polarized Light•Read the material•Do the
