| مستخلص: |
Light is an electromagnetic wave phenomenon described by the same theoretical principles that govern all forms of electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic radiation propagates in the form of two mutually coupled vector waves, an electric-field wave and a magnetic-field wave. Nevertheless, it is possible to describe many optical phenomena using a scalar wave theory in which light is described by a single scalar wavefunction. This approximate way of treating light is called scalar wave optics, or simply wave optics. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
