... We can now insert our expression for the summed monochromatic field at locations r1 and r2, to obtain a general expression for the quantity Vn,. The resulting expression is very long -- see Equation 31 in the book. We then introduce our fourth – and very important – assumption: 4. The fields are sp ...
