Electromagnetic Waves

Klappentext Published in book form in 1889, this monograph describes Heaviside's work on the theoretical and practical issues surrounding electromagnetic waves. Zusammenfassung By testing theories in real-life conditions, Oliver Heaviside (1850–1925) often drew surprising conclusions from contemporary formulae, and found flaws. This book, first published in 1889, and followed by his Electrical Papers and Electromagetic Theory, is an exploration of both Heaviside's work on telegraphic propagation, and contemporary research in electromagnetism. Inhaltsverzeichnis On electromagnetic waves, especially in relation to the vorticity of the impressed forces, and the forced vibrations of electromagnetic systems (1888); Note on a paper on electromagnetic waves (1888); The general solution of Maxwell's electromagnetic equations in a homogenous isotropic medium, especially in regard to the derivation of special solutions, and the formulae for plane waves (1889).
