Optics
(Classical)
Ray optics: the behavior of light can be adequately described by rays obeying a set of geometrical rules.
This model of light is called ray optics. From a mathematical perspective, ray optics is the limit of wave
optics when the wavelength is infinitesimally small.
Wave optics: (Scalar) Wave theory in which light is described by a single scalar wavefunction.
Electromagnetic optics: (Vector) Electromagnetic radiation propagates in the form of two mutually coupled
vector waves, an electric-field wave and a magnetic-field wave.
(Quantum)
Quantum optics: Quantum version of electromagnetic theory. Optical phenomena are
characteristically quantum mechanical in nature and cannot be explained classically.
Let’s warm-up

Question
How does the light propagate through a glass medium?
(1) through the voids inside the material.
(2) through the elastic collision with matter, like as for a sound.
(3) through the secondary waves generated inside the medium.

Chapter 8. Conservation Laws of EM fields
Electrodynamics, Griffith
8.3 Magnetic Forces Do No Work
8.1 Charge and Energy
8.1.1 Charge conservation (The Continuity Equation)
Let’s begin by reviewing the conservation of charge, because it is the paradigm for all conservation laws.
 What precisely does conservation of charge tell us?
 If the total charge in some volume changes, then exactly that amount of charge must have passed in
or out through the surface.
This local conservation of charge says
divergence theorem
This is, of course, the continuity equation,
 “the precise mathematical statement of local conservation of charge”.
8.1.2 Poynting's Theorem
In Chapter 2, we found that the work necessary to assemble a static charge distribution
(against the Coulomb repulsion of like charges) is (Eq. 2.45)
Energy of Continuous
Charge Distribution
Likewise, the work required to get currents going (against the back emf) is (Eq. 7.34)
Energy of steady
Current flowing
Therefore, the total energy stored in electromagnetic fields is
 Let’s derive this total energy stored in EM fields more generally
in the context of the energy conservation law for electrodynamics.
 “Energy conservation law for electrodynamics” Poynting Theorem
Energy Conservation and Poynting's Theorem
Suppose we have some charge and current configuration which, at time t, produces fields E and B.
In the next instant, dt, the charges move around a bit.
 How much work, dW, is done by the electromagnetic forces acting on these charges in the interval dt ?
According to the Lorentz force law, the work done on a charge q is
 the work done per unit time, per unit volume, or, the power delivered per unit volume.
Ampere-Maxwell law 
and Faraday's law
 Poynting's theorem
 This is “Work-Energy Theorem" or “Energy Conservation Theorem” of Electrodynamics.
Poynting's Theorem and Poynting Vector
 Poynting's theorem
 Work-Energy Theorem or Energy Conservation Theorem of Electrodynamics.
The first integral on the right is the total energy stored in the fields 
The second term evidently represents the rate at which energy is 
carried out of V, across its boundary surface, by the fields.
Poynting's theorem says
 “the work done on the charges by the electromagnetic force is equal to the decrease
in energy stored in the field, less the energy that flowed out through the surface.”
The energy per unit time, per unit area, transported by the fields is called the Poynting vector:

 Poynting vector in linear media
Poynting's theorem 
 S . da is the energy per unit time crossing the infinitesimal surface da
 the energy flux, if you like (so S is the energy flux density).
Poynting's Theorem and Poynting Vector
The work W done on the charges by the fields will increase their mechanical energy (kinetic, potential, or whatever).
 If we let umech denote the mechanical energy density,
 If we let uem denote the electromagnetic energy density,

 The charge density is replaced by the energy density (mechanical plus electromagnetic),
 the current density is replaced by the Poynting vector.
Therefore, Poynting’s theorem represents the flow of energy
in in exactly the same way that J in the continuity equation describes the flow of charge.

8.2 Momentum of EM fields
8.2.1 Newton's Third Law in Electrodynamics
Consider two charges, q1 and q2, moving with speeds v1 and v2 along the x-axis and y-axis
under magnetic fields B1 and B2.
At an instantaneous time t, each of the forces on q1 and q2, is a sum of electric and magnetic forces:
Fq 1,2  Fe  Fm
Fq1  Fq2
Fq1  Fq2
 If yes, Newton's third law can also valid
in electrodynamics
 If not, Newton's third law looks not to be valid
in electrodynamics
 However, the third law must be hold ALL THE TIME!
 If not, therefore, there must be another force hidden elsewhere.
 We will see that the fields themselves carry forces (or, momentum)
 Only when the field momentum is added to the mechanical momentum of
the charges, momentum conservation (or, the third law) is restored.
Newton's Third Law in Electrodynamics
Imagine a point charge q traveling in along the x-axis at a constant speed v.
q
 Because it is moving, its electric field is not given by Coulomb's law.
 Nevertheless, E still points radially outward from the instantaneous position
of the charge.
(In Chapter 10)
Generalized Coulomb field (velocity field)
If the velocity and acceleration are both zero,
Radiation field (acceleration field)
Since, moreover, a moving point charge does not constitute a steady current,
 its magnetic field is not given by the Biot-Savart law.
 Nevertheless, it's a fact that B still circles around the axis.
q
 Therefore, at an instantaneous time t, a situation with moving point charges
at constant velocities may be regarded as an electromagnetostatic case.
Newton's Third Law in Electrodynamics
Now suppose two identical charges, q1 and q2,
moving with a same speed along the x and y axes.
( This is an electromagnetostatic case at an instantaneous time t.)
 The electrostatic force between them is equal in
magnitude
Fe ,q2  Fe ,q1
but repulsive in direction:
 How about the magnetic force?
 The magnetic field B1 generated by q1 points into the page (at the position of q2),
so the magnetic force on q2 is toward the right.
 The magnetic field B2 generated by q2 points out of the page (at the position of q1),
so the magnetic force on q1 is upward.
Fm,q2  Fm,q1
The electromagnetic force of q1 on q2 is equal, but not opposite to the force of q1 and q2.
 The result may reveal violation of Newton’s third law in electrodynamics!
Fq1  Fq2
In electrostatics and magnetostatics the third law holds, but in electrodynamics it does not.
 Is it true?
 The third law must be hold ALL THE TIME!
 From the third law, we know that the proof of momentum conservation rests on the
cancellation of internal forces:   Fi  dP/dt  0 
Therefore, let’s prove the momentum conservation in electrodynamics!
 The fields themselves carry momentum.
 Only when the field momentum is added to the mechanical momentum of the charges,
momentum conservation (or, the third law) is restored.
8.2.2 Maxwell’s Stress Tensor for Field Momentum
Now we know that the fields themselves must carry momentum.
To find out the field momentum, let’s calculate the total EM force on the charges in volume V
in terms of Poynting vector S and stress tensor T:
EM force 
The force per unit volume is
A term seems to be "missing" from the symmetry in E and B, which can be achieved by inserting (∇ • B)B (= 0)
Using the vector calculus identity of
It can be simplified by introducing the Maxwell stress tensor T
Maxwell’s stress tensor
 It can be written more compactly by introducing the Maxwell stress tensor.
Maxwell’s stress tensor:
, and so on.
The divergence of it has an its j-th component,
Thus the force per unit volume can be written in the much simpler form:
The total EM force on the charges in volume V is therefore
* In static case 

*T
ij
 The force per unit area (or, stress) on the surface  called by “Stress Tensor”
8.2.3 Conservation of momentum for EM fields
According to the second law, the force on an object is equal to the rate of change of its momentum:

9.1 Waves in One Dimension
9.1.1 The Wave Equation
 It represents a wave of fixed shape
traveling in the +z direction at speed v.
 (Classical or Mechanical) Wave Equation = Equation of Motion
 Therefore, the Wave Equation admits as solutions all functions of the form
9.1.2 Sinusoidal Waves
(i) Terminology:
Of all possible wave forms, the sinusoidal one is
(At time t = 0)
(At z = 0)
A is the amplitude of the wave
 it is positive, and represents the maximum displacement from equilibrium.
The argument of the cosine,  = k(z-vt) + , is called the phase
  is the phase constant
 Obviously, you can add any integer multiple of 2p to  without changing f (z, t)
 Ordinarily, one uses a value in the range 0 ≤  ≤ 2p
k is the wave number
 it is related to the wavelength  by the equation 
One full cycle in a time period 
 = kvT = 2p 
Frequency v (number of oscillations per unit time) 
Angular frequency , the number of radians swept out per unit time 
 A sinusoidal waves in terms of k and 
Sinusoidal Waves
(ii) Complex notation
In view of Euler's formula,
Complex wave function:
 Complex amplitude
 The actual wave function is the real part:
 The advantage of the complex notation is that exponentials are much easier
to manipulate than sines and cosines.
(iii) Linear combinations of sinusoidal waves
Any wave can be expressed as a linear combination of sinusoidal ones:
(Fourier transformation)
 k includes negative values
 This does not mean that  and  are negative: wavelength and frequency are always
positive.
 k to run through negative values in order to represent waves going in both directions.
Note the point that any wave can be written as a linear combination of sinusoidal waves,
 therefore if you know how sinusoidal waves behave, you know in principle how any wave behaves.
 So from now on, we shall confine our attention to sinusoidal waves.
9.1.3 Boundary conditions: Reflection and Transmission
 The incident wave
 The reflected wave
The transmitted wave 
All parts of the system are oscillating at the same frequency 
(a frequency determined by the person who is shaking the string)
Since the wave velocities are different in the two strings,
 the wavelengths and wave numbers are also different:
