Chapter 3 Electromagnetic Theory, Photons and Light September 5,8 Electromagnetic waves 3.1 Basic laws of electromagnetic theory Lights are electromagnetic waves. Electric fields are generated by electric charges or time-varying magnetic fields. Magnetic fields are generated by electric currents or time-varying electric fields. Maxwell’s wave equation is derived from the following four laws (Maxwell’s equations). 3.1.1 Faraday’s induction law Electromotive force (old term, actually a voltage): d M d emf E dl B dS C dt dt A B E d l C A t dS B dl E dS A time-varying magnetic field produces an electric field. 1 3.1.2 Gauss’s law - electric Flux of electric field: E E dS A q For a point charge: E , e0 is the permittivity of free space. e0 Generally, E dS A 1 e0 V dV For general material, the permittivity e K Ee 0 , where KE is the relative permittivity (dielectric constant). 3.1.3 Gauss’s law- magnetic There is no isolated magnetic monopoles: M B dS 0 A 2 3.1.4 Ampere’s circuital law For electric currents: J B dl m J dS C 0 dl B A m0 is the permeability of free space. dS For general materials, the permeability m K M m0 , where KM is the relative permeability. Moving charges are not the only source for a magnetic field. Example: in a charging capacitor, there is no current across area A2 (bounded by C).

However, it cannot explain the emission and absorption of light by atoms (black body radiation, photoelectric effect, etc.). Planck’s assumption: Each oscillator could absorb and emit energy of hn, where n is the oscillatory frequency. Einstein’s assumption: Light is a stream of photons, each photon has an energy of h 6.626 10 34 J s e hn hc / . 3.3.3 Radiation pressure and momentum Maxwell’s theory shows radiation pressure P = energy density: (Work done = PAct = uAct P=u) 1 1 2 P uE uB e 0 E 2 B , 2 2m0 For light P(t ) T S (t ) c T or P(t ) S (t ) c I c 10 Momentum density of radiation ( pV): PA p pV ctA S S A pV 2 t t c c Momentum of a photon (p): S c p u p hn h V c S c pV 2 c u Vector momentum: p k The energy and momentum of photons are confirmed by Compton scattering. 11 Read: Ch3: 3 Homework: Ch3: 8,14,16,19,27 Due: September 19 12 September 12 Radiation 3.4 Radiation 3.4.1 Linearly accelerating charges Field lines of a moving charge ct2 ct2 c(t2-t1) 0 t1 c(t2-t1) t2 Constant speed 0 t1 t2 Analogy: A train emits smokes at speed c from 8 chimneys over 360º. What do the trajectories of the smoke look like when the train is: 1) still, 2) moving at a constant speed, 3) moving at a constant acceleration. With acceleration Assuming the E-field information propagates at speed c. Gauss’s law suggests that the field lines are curved when the charge is accelerated. The transverse component of the electric field will propagate outward. A non-uniformly moving charge produces electromagnetic waves. 13 Examples: 1. Synchrotron radiation. Electromagnetic radiation emitted by relativistic charged particles curving in magnetic or electric fields. Energy is mostly radiated perpendicular to the acceleration. 2.
