Course Objectives The objective of this course is to deepen the student’s physics knowledge by teaching how to produce electromagnetic waves, and their behavior in different types of media using various mathematical methods.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • compare the behavior of electromagnetic waves in vacuum, simple matter and dispersive matter.
  • analyze the properties of radiation in transmission lines, planar conductors, conducting tubes and dielectric waveguides.
  • determine the conditions for the storage of electromagnetic radiation in conducting cavities and dielectric resonators.
  • calculate scattering cross section for electromagnetic wave scatterings such as Thomson and Rayleigh scatterings.
  • describe the diffraction of radiation from an aperture.
Course Description Knowledge related to nature, production and behavior of electromagnetic waves will be conveyed with the endorsement of mathematical techniques. Radiation type and characteristics will be discussed for moving charges.
