Advanced Topics in Electrodynamics

Advanced Topics in Electrodynamics represents a short survey of advanced subjects in electrodynamic theory. The topics are organized under chapters covering wave equations, potentials and electromagnetic radiation. Phenomena such as reflection, transmission and polarization of electromagnetic waves are explained. Wave transmission in conductors and nonconductors is studied and wave guides are examined. The solution of electromagnetic wave equations in terms of scalar and vector potentials is explained in the second chapter. In the final chapter the phenomenon of electromagnetic radiation is developed and explained. The book includes 35 end-of-chapter problems that test understanding.
