The mathematical physics underpinning electromagnetic fields and wave equations provides a rigorous framework for understanding the behaviour of electric and magnetic phenomena in both classical and ...

Wavelength is defined, and students use the wave equation to solve problems. Wavelength is defined, and students use the wave equation to solve problems. Reflection is described at boundaries of ...

According to quantum mechanics, the physics theory that describes the zoo of subatomic particles, all matter can be described as both particles and waves. But is it real? When you purchase through ...

It’s in your physics textbook, go look. It says that you can either model light as an electromagnetic wave OR you can model light a stream of photons. You can’t use both models at the same time. It’s ...

It isn’t often that physics produces news that diverts the mainstream media from politics, crime and sports. But, now, in the space of four years’ time, physicists have twice elevated the intellectual ...
