Wave Equation

The document discusses the wave equation and Maxwell's equations. It introduces variables like the displacement field D, electric field E, electric charge density ρ, electric current density J, and conductivity σ. It then derives two wave equations that represent waves propagating through free space, known as Helmholtz's wave equations. One wave equation is derived from taking the curl of Maxwell's first equation relating the curl of H to the electric current density and time derivative of D. The other is derived from taking the curl of Maxwell's fourth equation relating the curl of E to the time derivative of B.

Wave Equation

• Displacement field D and the electric field E,


• Electric charge density (total charge per unit volume), ρ
• Electric current density (total current per unit area), J.
• σ (sigma) is a material-dependent parameter called the conductivity.

Similarly taking curl of equation (4)


X X H= jѠɛ ( X E)
( .H)- 2H= jѠµ(-jѠµH)

From Maxwell’s 4th equation


.B =0
.µH =0
.H=0
