    ID Sheet: MISN-0-514 THIS IS A DEVELOPMENTAL-STAGE PUBLICATION OF PROJECT PHYSNET The goal of our project is to assist a network of educators and scientists in transferring physics from one person to another. We support manuscript processing and distribution, along with communication and information systems. We also work with employers to identify basic scientic skills as well as physics topics that are needed in science and technology. A number of our publications are aimed at assisting users in acquiring such skills. Our publications are designed: (i) to be updated quickly in response to eld tests and new scientic developments; (ii) to be used in both classroom and professional settings; (iii) to show the prerequisite dependencies existing among the various chunks of physics knowledge and skill, as a guide both to mental organization and to use of the materials; and (iv) to be adapted quickly to specic user needs ranging from single-skill instruction to complete custom textbooks. New authors, reviewers and eld testers are welcome. PROJECT STAFF Andrew Schnepp Eugene Kales Peter Signell Webmaster Graphics Project Director

    ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES by R. Young 1. Introduction


    In this unit you will use Maxwells equations to solve certain types of boundary value problems involving the propagation of electromagnetic waves. The specic problems involve the reection and transmission of electromagnetic waves incident normally and obliquely on an interface between two media. In addition, the propagation of monochromatic plane electromagnetic waves in conducting media will be treated.

    2. Procedures
    1. Read Sections 17-1 and 17-4 of the text. 2. Read Section 18-1 through 18-5 of the text. 3. Solve these problems: 18-11, 18-13, 18-14.
