Classical Electromagnetic Radiation

Book Description

The revision of this highly acclaimed text is designed for use in advanced physics courses--intermediate level juniors or first year graduates. Basic knowledge of vector calculus and Fourier analysis is assumed. In this edition, a very accessible macroscopic view of classical electromagnetics is presented with emphasis on integrating electromagnetic theory with physical optics. The presentation follows the historical development of physics, culminating in the final chapter, which uses four-vector relativity to fully integrate electricity with magnetism.

Excellent book for beginning graduate students.......2003-12-20

This book covers many important topics in electromagnetic theory including many areas in Optics, like diffraction,..etc. It fills a gap between the undergrad text books and the more advance graduate EM texts (like Jackson's,.. etc). The materials are easy to follow and understand with no lack of mathematical rigors.
Execllent text for beginning graduate students.

The former review is for the wrong book........2001-06-19

Hi folks I just wrote this to caution you that the former reviewer is inadverently reviewing the MECHANICS book by the same author. To be short I would give this book four stars. It does a little bit of static phenomena and boundary value problems and jumps to radiation justifying the title. The level of the book is in between a grad course and an undergrad course. I think it is ideal for self study for grad students.

Challenging but well worth the effort for motivated students.......1999-06-20

An excellent textbook on classical dynamics for the 'grown-up' student who wants mathematical rigor along with physical insights. Working through this book requires considerable effort and thought on the student's part, but is well worth the time spent. Highly recommended for the serious student who is not afraid of hard work.

Product Description

The evaluation of electromagnetic field coupling to transmission lines is an
important problem in electromagnetic compatibility. The use of the transmission line (TL) approximation theory has permitted the solution of a large range of problems (e. g. lightning and EMP interaction with power lines). However, the continual increase in operating frequency of products and higher-frequency sources of disturbances (such as UWB systems) makes TL basic assumptions no longer acceptable for a certain number of applications. In the last decade or so, the generalization of classical TL theory to take into account high frequency effects has emerged as an important topic of study in electromagnetic compatibility. This effort resulted in the elaboration of
the so-called "generalized" or "full-wave" TL theory, which incorporates high frequency radiation effects, while keeping the relative simplicity of TL equations.

This book is organized in two main parts. Part I presents consolidated
knowledge of classical transmission line theory and different
field-to-transmission line coupling models. Part II presents different
approaches developed to generalize TL Theory.

An Introduction to Classical Electromagnetic Radiation.......2001-02-22

This is a good engineering reference, with a slight physics twist. Much of the material is engineering related, but there are some topics (such as Cherenkov radiation - more suitable as a physics discussion) that is well covered. Overall, a good reference text.

Book Description

"This is a remarkable book. […] A fresh and novel approach to old problems and to their solution." –Fritz Rohrlich, Emeritus Professor of Physics, Syracuse University This book takes a fresh, systematic approach to determining the equation of motion for the classical model of the electron introduced by Lorentz more than 100 years ago. The original derivations of Lorentz, Abraham, Poincaré and Schott are modified and generalized for the charged insulator model of the electron to obtain an equation of motion consistent with causal solutions to the Maxwell-Lorentz equations and the equations of special relativity. The solutions to the resulting equation of motion are free of pre-acceleration and runaway behavior. Binding forces and a total stress–momentum–energy tensor are derived for the charged insulator model. General expressions for synchrotron radiation emerge in a form convenient for determining the motion of the electron. Appendices provide simplified derivations of the self-force and power at arbitrary velocity. In this Second Edition, the method used for eliminating the noncausal pre-acceleration from the equation of motion has been generalized to eliminate pre-deceleration as well. The generalized method is applied to obtain the causal solution to the equation of motion of a charge accelerating in a uniform electric field for a finite time interval. Alternative derivations of the Landau-Lifshitz approximation to the Lorentz-Abraham-Dirac equation of motion are also given, along with Spohn’s elegant solution of this approximate equation for a charge moving in a uniform magnetic field. The book is a valuable resource for students and researchers in physics, engineering and the history of science.

Book Description

In analyses of radiation scattering, accurately assessing the shape of the scatterer and the wavelength of the incident radiation is a goal that has challenged researchers since the beginning of optical science. This innovative text presents two methods of calculating the electromagnetic fields due to radiation scattering by a single scatterer. Both methods yield valid results for all wavelengths of the incident radiation as well as a wide variety of scatterer configurations.

A Very Pleasant Journey.......2007-06-19

"Following the Equator" leaves me in the position of having read nearly everything published by Mark Twain. I'm only short "The American Claimant" and a speech or essay or two. I'll deal with those shortly but, in the meantime, I'll savor the last of the truly noteworthing writings of America's greatest author. Towards the end of the journey "The Guilded Age" was a struggle and "The Prince and the Pauper" was good but not if the measuring stick was the works of Mark Twain. I wasn't sure what to expect of "Following the Equator" because I had heard so little about it. In addition, I had found "The Innocents Abroad" and "A Tramp Abroad" to have been tedious at times. Of the four travel books, this one ranks above the two aforementioned books and below "Roughing It". (I do not count "Life on the Mississippi" as belonging in this class). I rate this book with only 4 Stars because there are works of Twain well beyond this level. Too bad he doesn't have his own weights and measures rather than being compared to mere humans.

"Following the Equator" made me laugh out loud as well as ponder in silence; qualities that are my yardstick when measuring Twain. The laughs come early and fast but every lengthy voyage by sea involves some doldrums and they appear in here as well. Most of those ocur when Twain is in his lecturing mode. He gets excited about a lot of history, geography, zoology, and anthropology along the way. Unfortunately he is often more excited than we are. Adding to the effects of these literary speed bumps are periodic lengthy quotations to relate the history he wants us to know. Twain should have known that he could summerize better that most (if not all) of the first-hand accounts we suffered through. We emerge from these stagnate waters back into the rapids of that unique humor of his.

I read "Following the Equator" over a longer period that it took Twain to complete his voyage. That's because I had the book at work to read during 1/2 hour lunch breaks 2 days a week. Sometime I missed a month or two but I alway knew where the ship was docked when it was time to get on board again. Once the ship left the subcontinent of India, I was a full-time passenger which may be why I enjoyed South Africa the best. I was suprized that the journey from Cape Town to Southhampton only took the last three pages of the book. "Following the Equator" really should have ended with the previous chapter. In a tribute to Cecil Rhodes that only Twain could write, he ended that chapter with the following; "I admire him, I frankly confess it; and when his time comes I shall buy a piece of the rope for a keepsake."

Teachers... don't miss this boat!.......2006-03-10

Any reader who loves a good book will relish the vicarious experience of traveling with Twain, his wife, Livy, and Clara, one of their three daughters as they tour the world on the lecture circuit. It's important to understand the necessity of the trip: Twain was 60, facing bankruptcy, and signed on for the lecture tour in order to pay off his debt. The grueling schedule and unpredictable travel accommodations take no toll on his writing, however. Prepare to laugh - hard and often. Was it hot in India? "I believe that in India 'cold weather' is merely a conventional phrase and has come into use through the necessity of having some way to distinguish between weather which will melt a brass door-knob and weather which will only make it mushy." Teachers - do not pass on the opportunity to laugh and learn and share the world with your students. Geography, history, culture, language, climate, language arts (oh, his choice of words and phrases!), politics, time zones, botany, geology, biology, religion - all are explored and described and relevant today. Jimmy Buffett's "Remittance Man," "That's What Living is to Me," and "Take Another Road" all spring from this book (especially the remittance man, a character you'll meet early in the book). There is also an "unfinished story" with which you can challenge your students. I worked with nineteen 4th and 5th grade gifted students one summer, and they spent two weeks reading, scripting, and animating a 70 minute video of this book. They loved it, and so will your students if you plan accordingly. A good accompanying video is "On the Trail of Mark Twain" with Peter Ustinov, but only as a companion - NOT as a replacement! Go for it... where else will you get the opportunity to travel from Vancouver to Hawaii to Fiji to Australia to New Zealand to Ceylon to India to South Africa? The book chronicles their travels in such a way that you can pick it up and focus on one region without losing anything. But don't let that stop you from reading the whole book. See the Southern Cross and the Blue Mountains. Get rousted out of your comfortable train berth to change cars in Australia because the gauge of the tracks changes from wide to narrow. Meet the dingo and the Aboriginals, eavesdrop on Twain's conversation with "Satan" and "God" in India, explore the diamond mines of South Africa near the Trappist Monastery, and steer clear of the sharks in the Great Barrier Reef. There is more adventure in this one book than a whole year's subscription to National Geographic. My favorite part? Twain's vivid description of "that bird of birds - the Indian crow." No, wait, it's the hand-car ride down the Himalayas. No, wait... ah, who can pick? Read it yourself, and find out why.

Timely Shipping; not as "new" as I wanted.......2005-10-04

It got to me fast but wasn't in as "new" condition as I expected - i.e., it may not have been read before but it had a good bit of shelf wear. A nice book all the same.

Wonderful.......2005-09-13

The only thing I would add to the other positive reviews is that the book is just riddled with political and social commentary - wonderfully scathing, far ahead of its time, and subtely presented at that. Jingoism is derided, missionary zeal seen from the perspective of the injured convert, colonialism unmasked, feminism promoted .... other ills rought by the west are put in perspective as well through good storytelling and Twain's trademark humor. A great travel tale, but also a work of wicked and broad-reaching social commentary backed up by solid history and first-hand accounts.

Perhaps his greatest.......2003-12-17

Twain's chronicle of a steamship trip to the subcontinent and beyond is incomparable. If nothing else, anyone would enjoy Puddinhead Wilson's maxims at the beginning of each chapter, all classics that hold up a century after they were written. No Twain fan should skip this one--and I suspect few have.

Book Description

In 1895, bankrupted by his investments in the doomed Paige typesetter and by the collapse of his publishing house, sixty-year-old Mark Twain was forced to embark on a world lecture tour to raise money to pay his growing debts. Following the Equator, Twain's final travel book, was the result.
His readers circumnavigate the globe with one of the world's most entertaining travel companions--to Honolulu and the Fiji Islands, Sydney and Melbourne, Tasmania, Ceylon, Bombay, Calcutta, Cape Town and Johannesburg. Twain blends whimsical anecdote, sharp-eyed commentary, and serious social
critique, assailing the contempt of whites for native traditions, and noting the striking similarity between slavery and the colonial experience. In "To the Person Sitting in Darkness" and "King Leopold's Soliloquy," also included in this volume, Twain strips the imperialist powers naked and bears
eloquent witness to the unspeakable crimes they perpetrate in the name of what he calls the "Blessings-of-Civilization Trust."

After You, Mark Twain.......2007-06-07

It occurred to me to follow Mark Twain's 1895-96 lecture tour to the British colonies. We could visit the countries he described in Following the Equator: A Journey Around the World (Dover Books on Travel, Adventure) and I would write a book telling of our adventures. Perhaps it would be possible to find evidence of his visit - newspaper interviews, reviews of his lectures. Almost a century had passed since his voyage, and the changes wrought by industrialization and the dissolution of the British Empire should be worth reporting....We took turns reading Following the Equator: A Journey Around the World (Dover Books on Travel, Adventure) and laid out our itenerary: Hawaii, Fiji, New Zealand, Australia, Thailand, India, Sri Lanka and South Africa.
