Classical electromagnetic field
- Maxwell equations [r]: Mathematical equations describing the interrelationship between electric and magnetic fields; dependence of the fields on electric charge- and current- densities. [e]
- Electromagnetic wave [r]: A change, periodic in space and time, of an electric field E(r,t) and a magnetic field B(r,t); a stream of electromagnetic waves, referred to as electromagnetic radiation, can be seen as a stream of massless elementary particles, named photons. [e]
- Electromagnetic radiation [r]: a collection of electromagnetic waves, usually of different wavelengths. [e]
- Vector potential [r]: Add brief definition or description
Quantum mechanics
- Quantization [r]: Replacement of a classical variable by a quantum mechanical operator; phenomenon that energy is discontinuous. [e]
- Second quantization [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Photon [r]: elementary particle with zero rest mass and unit spin associated with the electromagnetic field. [e]
