Wave Optics - Propagation Prof. Townsend Feb. 1999 Maxwells Equations to Wave Optics - Propagation Recall from the Maxwells Equations handout, equation (21), that for each component of the electric field (1) Solutions Recall that we are describing the electric field for a single frequency, w, where we have assumed ~ time dependence. In regions of constant index of refraction there are two solutions to this equation that are easily found a) Plane waves: (2a) b) Spherical waves (2b) where A is an amplitude indicating the strength of the wave and r is the
