Electromagnetic waves (maxwel's theory)?

Question

Is it possible to understand Electromagnetic waves theory, without knowledge of partial differentiation?

Answer 1

As with most areas of science, you can get a general qualitative understanding without the math. Look for some simplified, general-audience books on electricity and magnetism, or parts of books on general science. But if you have the math background, you can get a much better understanding, and you can actually do something with it.

Answer 2

i think no, it is not possible without maxwel's theory you can't understand electromagnetic waves.

Electromagnetic waves were first predicted by James Clerk Maxwell and subsequently confirmed by Heinrich Hertz. Maxwell derived a wave form of the electric and magnetic equations, revealing the wave-like nature of electric and magnetic fields, and their symmetry. Because the speed of EM waves predicted by the wave equation coincided with the measured speed of light, Maxwell concluded that light itself is an EM wave.

According to Maxwell's equations, a time-varying electric field generates a magnetic field and vice versa. Therefore, as an oscillating electric field generates an oscillating magnetic field, the magnetic field in turn generates an oscillating electric field, and so on. These oscillating fields together form an electromagnetic wave.

A quantum theory of the interaction between electromagnetic radiation and matter such as electrons is described by the theory of quantum electrodynamics.

If I get 100 dollars from 250 persons how much I will a have?

If I knew mathematics I can find the answer. Since I don’t know I am asking it in yahoo answers. I get the answer as 25000 dollars. Now I understand that from 250 persons I get 25000 dollars.

To obtain the field equations and to find the solution of differential equations one must know a good knowledge of mathematics.

However, to understand the solutions of the equations, one need not be good at mathematics.


The physical essence of electro-magnetic phenomenon given by Maxwell’s equations may be summarized in the following manner.

The division of E.M field into electric and magnetic fields has only relative meaning.

If from the point of view of an inertial system of coordinates only a magnetic field exists, then from the view-point of another system MOVING relative to this system there exists an electric field in addition to the magnetic field.

If an observer in one system finds only an electric field present, then an observer in another inertial system will find that both an electric field and magnetic field exist.

In a space where free electric charges are absent, conduction currents are absent.

Then both the magnetic and electric fields have purely rotational characteristics.

That is the lines of force are closed and mutually interwoven.

The electro magnetic field may be depicted as a chain of rings.

If one ring is depicted as electric lines of force (closed ring) then the next ring is the magnetic lines of force (closed ring)

Such a chain exists only if the field is variable.

A ring of increasing magnetic flux creates about itself a ring of electric flux; the varying electric field creates a ring of magnetic flux etc.

If the space under consideration contains charges [and hence currents], additional rotational magnetic fields encircle the potential fields which begin on positive charges and end on negative charges.

Answer 4

right that's the photon concept: A concept of photoemission progressed by skill of Einstein, in accordance to which a delicate beam behaves like a bypass of debris (spoke of as photons) whilst it delivers potential to a substance showing photoemission, the debris each and each having an potential equivalent to Planck's consistent situations the frequency of the sunshine. If a delicate beam is in contact then the gadget isn't interior the ineffective of nighttime. additionally, if the object emmit emw they do no longer look to be interior the frecuency of seen gentle, so the sensors, rods and cones, on the retina heavily isn't inspired and could no longer deliver counsel to the concepts.

Answer 5

No. Maxwell's equations are partial differential equations. Furthermore, they are fully three dimensional so they cannot be reduced down to just ordinary derivatives. Sorry.

Answer 6

To really appreciate Maxwell's Equations, you have to be able to combine them together into the wave equations and see that the speed of light can be derived from epsilon and mu...you really have to understand the math....

Answer 7

Nope.Its a bit difficult widout that.U need diffrentiation to get it prprly

Answer 8

Their full beauty can only be appreciated with the appropriate mathematics.
