CC-XIII: Electromagnetic Theory (32221601)
Credit : 06 (Theory-04, Practical-02)
Theory : 60 Hours
Practical : 60 Hours
Course Objective
This core course develops further the concepts learnt in the electricity and magnetism
course to understand the properties of electromagnetic waves in vacuum and different
media.
Course Learning Outcomes
At the end of this course the student will be able to:
© Apply Maxwell's equations to deduce wave equation, electromagnetic field energy,
momentum and angular momentum density.
‘* Understand electromagnetic wave propagation in unbounded media: Vacuum, dielectric
medium, conducting medium, plasma.
© Understand electromagnetic wave propagation in bounded media: reflection and
transmission coefficients at plane interface in bounded media,
© Understand polarization of Electromagnetic Waves: Linear, Circular and Elliptical
Polarization, Production as well as detection of waves in laboratory.
‘© Lear the features of planar optical wave guide.
© Understand the fundamentals of propagation of electromagnetic waves through optical
fibres.
0 * In the laboratory course, the student get an opportunity to perform experiments with
Polarimeter, Babinet Compensator, Ultrasonic grating, simple dipole antenna. Also, to
study phenomena of interference, refraction, diffraction and polarization.
