Here, we discuss two physical arguments ( based on polarization experiments and on lack of monopole electromagnetic radiation) and the full argument for the transversality of (plane) electromagnetic waves based on the integral Maxwell equations. Both physical and theoretical arguments are at a level appropriate for students of courses based on such books, and could be readily used by instructors of such courses.
Introductory calculus-based physics textbooks state that electromagnetic waves are transverse and list many of their properties, but most such textbooks do not bring forth arguments why this is so. Transversality of electromagnetic waves in the calculus-based introductory physics course
Both physical and theoretical arguments are at a level appropriate for students of courses based on such books, and could be readily used by… Preliminary results of feedback from the students and an evaluation team will be presented.ĮRIC Educational Resources Information Center We formulated the following rule for the conduct of the course: ''No paper is transferred between instructional staff and students that contains course information or assignments for grading.'' Implementing and maintaining this physics course within the context of the instructor goals will be discussed. This course relies on the use of technology to teach physics. We have begun a calculus-based introductory physics course to integrate mathematics and multimedia with the traditional physics content. Technology is playing an increasing role in our lives at home, at work, and in the classroom. Moore, Christopher Fuller, Robert Plano-Clark, Vicki L. We have successfully integrated this approach in the calculus-based introductory physics course at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.Ĭare and Feeding of a Paperless, Calculus-based Physics Course We also show, at a level appropriate for the introductory course, why the electric and magnetic fields in a wave are in phase and the relation of their magnitudes. Here, we discuss two physical arguments ( based on polarization experiments and on lack of monopole electromagnetic radiation), and the full argument for the transversality of (plane) electromagnetic waves based on the integral Maxwell equations.
