The propagation of EM waves is governed by Maxwell's equations. When these waves pass through a medium, they slow down and refract, while in a metallic medium, they are reflected. Metallic boxes and pipes can store and direct EM waves, known as cavities and waveguides. Oscillating currents generate and transmit EM waves through antennas, allowing for long-distance communication after the waves propagate. Since oscillating currents emit EM waves, the author uses coaxial cables and transmission lines to reduce radiation and carry high-frequency currents efficiently. EM waves at very high frequencies in the optical range are responsible for transmitting visual information. The author also discusses lenses and optical instruments like telescopes and microscopes, which are used to magnify optical signals. Additionally, the quantum mechanical origins of a material?s permittivity, which affects the speed of light through the medium, are examined. 606 $aOptics 606 $aTelecommunication 606 $aMagnetism 606 $aOptics and Photonics 606 $aMicrowaves, RF Engineering and Optical Communications 606 $aMagnetism 615 0$aOptics. 615 0$aTelecommunication. 615 0$aMagnetism. 615 14$aOptics and Photonics. 615 24$aMicrowaves, RF Engineering and Optical Communications. 615 24$aMagnetism. 676 $a535 700 $aKhaneja$b Navin$01766164 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910986129003321 996 $aElectromagnetic Waves and Optics$94327382 997 $aUNINA
