What is a reference for a practical experiment for existence electric field wave and magnetic field wave in an electromagnetic wave?
Maxwell equations lead to simultaneous perpendicular oscillations of electric field as well as magnetic field with same amplitude and “wavelength”. But, they do not guarantee any propagation of these ...

Introduction to electromagnetic waves with easy math
My father would like to understand the physics of light (let's say Maxwell's theory, the wave-particle duality and special relativity) and he's asked me what book he should read. He's a quick learner, ...

How can we excite transverse magnetic or electric ( TM or TE) modes on metallic mediums?
I would be very thankful if someone can point me at references on explaining theories of excitations for transverse magnetic or electric modes.
In engineering, the literature has plenty of papers on ...

Is there a formalism on EM waves that uses only coordinate free calculations?
This book for example:
Theory of Electromagnetic Waves: A Coordinate-free Approach, by Hollis C. Chen (McGraw-Hill, 1983); Amazon link,
only I can't find it online without a registration.
