KlappentextOptical Radiation and Matter provides a deeper look at electricity and magnetism and the interaction of optical radiation with molecules and solid materials. The focus is on developing an understanding of the sources of light, how light moves through matter, and how external electric and magnetic fields can influence the way light waves propagate through materials.
Classroom tested for over 30 years and now revised and expanded, this textbook is divided into nine chapters. It begins with a review of the basics of electromagnetic radiation, polarization properties of the electromagnetic field, scattering of radiation, and absorption of light. It then moves into more advanced topics involving optical radiation propagating through various materials. The text presents sometimes complicated results by relating back to common phenomena such as why the sky is blue, why copper is reddish and silver is white, and how anti-reflection coatings on eyeglasses work.
With an introduction, worked examples, and end-of-chapter problems for each chapter, this textbook is suitable for readers with a background in electricity and magnetism at an advanced undergraduate level and will complement any course on advanced electricity and magnetism, electro-optics, and radiation and matter.
