I think it should be pointed out that the EM wave in vacuum isn't actually moving up and down in space. I've tutored many students, and this is what they commonly think. It is the strength of the electric and magnetic field that oscillates, so, if looking along a single propagation axis, the EM-wave is literally on a straight line that doesn't move up or down. The field strengths along this straight line merely oscillate between a maximum and minimum value. I just wanted to point this out because from my experience of tutoring, many students thought the EM-wave looked like that in space, like it was a string or something.

The B field and E field must be orthogonal to each other in an electromagnetic wave. That much makes sense. But if the change in the E field induces the B field and the change in the B field induces the E field, why are they not 90 degrees out of phase?

Good point, but it's the highest time rate of change of E that is coincident with the highest rate of spatial change of B, not B itself. See "Jefimenko's Equations" for a discussion of why this is important.
But photons aren't planes, they're localized little things... is there a different wave solution that restricts most of the waviness to a small region like a photon?
The electromagnetic wave can be explained in full with no quantum mechanics (photons). The solution of maxwells equations he is speaking about is the plane wave solution.
@@xhocheinsdurchmolkinda late, but no it is not. The Dirac equation is only for spin 1/2 particles. Aka particles that are only described by spinors. Photons are vector bosons and are explained by the wave equation.
The wave shown at the beginning is a spherical wave but the obtained solution is a plane wave, can u explain the link between these two kind of waves? I know that for a distance way greater than the wavelength the spherical wave is well approximated by a plane wave, is that the case? P.S. Best video i've ever seen about the derivation of E.M. waves from Maxwell's equations
well, solutions are linear, so you a spherical wave is a sum of waves of fixed vector k (a la a Fourier transform); however, there are already special functions on a sphere called vector spherical harmonics that work better, and they have names: monopole, dipole, quadrupole, etc...
Sometimes it is said that "a changing electric field causes a changing magnetic field that then causes a changing electric field and so forth and this is the cause of the wave"... but when I think about it, the equations are "at a point" so I do not see how this could cause propagation. In others words, I can see how this MIGHT explain something at a point but I do not see how it can explain something going on at one point influencing something at another point...?
You're right. Oleg Jefimenko also highlighted the problem with this loose wording & derived his own set of equations from Maxwell's and Lorentz's, showing that it was charges and their motions that caused the changing electric and magnetic fields at a distance.
Let’s consider the propagation of the EM wave only in the +Y axis, starting at a point at the origin. I’ll say dE and dB for changing electric and magnetic fields wrtt and put the direction of the change in brackets. Let’s say at this point we have dE (Z+). This is also the curl of B and will lead to dB (X+) increasing B further along Y+ as well as dB (X-) suppressing B opposite to propagation. But dB (X+) is also the negative curl of E and will lead to dE (Z+) increasing E further along Y+ as well as dE (Z-) suppressing E opposite to propagation. And this dance repeats over and over. You can get a sense for this by pointing you thumb towards dE and -dB, curling your fingers 👍 and seeing which way they suggest the change in the other field to point along a given direction of propagation always giving rise to an increasing change in the fields towards this direction and suppressing the previously created fields behind it. It is a bit simplistic as really the curl extends radially outwards from your thumb with ever decreasing magnitude so each point is actually increasing and decreasing the all of the other field with less strength further away from that given point instead of just affecting its immediate “neighbours” as my description suggests. Hope that makes sense 👍
@@BearRealOfficial so if I'm following and to boil it down: since Maxwell's eqns predict that changing fields at a given point under consideration will produce effects where the spatial derivatives are nonzero, then this means that the effect will produce effects at other points beyond the point under consideration.

This is great at how the math works. But a cross product is used to make them perpendicular, so "why" they are perpendicular is completely skipped. A causal mechanism is where you get to understand it. Describing what you see it do with math is not an understanding. Then I need to add that laws and rules are mnemonic devices, not causes. The variables in gravity math are probably incidental, not causal, so anything with a constant in it is suspect. Math is a rote memory procedural path into these things that followers cannot let go of, because it is all they have. If you believe in angular momentum, look at my latest gyro explanation that is based in acceleration, and please let me know that you can see "causality" beyond the description.
"Math is a rote memory procedural path into these things that followers cannot let go of, because it is all they have." You say this as if you have something beyond it. Not even Einstein could solve the "cause" behind the math and he dedicated his life to it.
@@riahmatic You did not look at my gyroscopic effect explanation. I can tell, because those stop talking to me. It is the difference between describing what you see it do and understanding "why" it does it.
Sir divergence of Electric field is not equal to zero. For time variable field divergence of Electric field is equal to ratio of charge density over permittivity in space. Gradient of divergence of Electric field is equal to zero.

The curl of a curl of a victor field doesn't make sense. First, it's the subtraction of the grad div of F minus the grad of div of F. There is no divergence of gradient of a vector field. the Laplace operator works on the gradient of a vector field div grad f f here is a scalar not a vector. So it doesn't make sense!
I was confused by the same thing, but no, it does make sense, it's just slightly odd notation. The short answer is that the laplace operator applied to a vector field is defined as the resulting vector from applying laplace to every cartesian component of the original. The other way to think about it is that grad of F, with F being a vector field, is actually a different way to notate the transposed jacobian of F, which is a matrix. Then, doing the dot product is equivalent to matrix multiplication of the transposed del operator with the transposed jacobian. This lands back to the previously mentioned definition of the Laplacian on a vector field. Cheers

Universaldenker, you got to get your fact correct to be a universal thinker. I know you are not expecting critics of Faraday / Maxwell, but I look at real science, not the name behind it. in real science = Persian, There is no magnetic / electric field in light. Light is a stream of photon. Photon has physical structure that explains its travel from A to B and interaction. The electric field needs a surface to display its property. Moving Magnetic dose move electron in conductor, but current dose not create magnetic field. Man dose not know structure of matter to understand magnetic field is by product of matter function. This is normally mitigated by electron. When electron is forced to move by a potential, the magnetic flux can escape and be detected outside conductor. This has made Maxwell to reach wrong conclusion that e/m wave in space made of e and m. Most of western leaders know over 90% of current man’s model of space and particle physic is wrong. Angela Merkel refused to give me permission to correct them, as it will undermine western science belief. Ferydoon Shirazi. MG1
@@MultiversalGoat if you know electric field, you should have noticed it is true in a conductor, static field can be detected out side but their field are parallel. this make osculation wrong.

The divergence of E is not iqual to Zero!
Here electromagnetic waves in vacuum are treated! That's why the divergence of E is zero.
@@fufaev-alexander Ok. Thanks for your answer!
@@josecarlosbianchi5603 I think it is because there are no charges around so Q = 0 so Q / ε_0 = 0
This is great at how the math works. But a cross product is used to make them perpendicular, so "why" they are perpendicular is completely skipped. A causal mechanism is where you get to understand it. Describing what you see it do with math is not an understanding. Then I need to add that laws and rules are mnemonic devices, not causes. The variables in gravity math are probably incidental, not causal, so anything with a constant in it is suspect. Math is a rote memory procedural path into these things that followers cannot let go of, because it is all they have. If you believe in angular momentum, look at my latest gyro explanation that is based in acceleration, and please let me know that you can see "causality" beyond the description.
"Math is a rote memory procedural path into these things that followers cannot let go of, because it is all they have." You say this as if you have something beyond it. Not even Einstein could solve the "cause" behind the math and he dedicated his life to it.
@@riahmatic You did not look at my gyroscopic effect explanation. I can tell, because those stop talking to me. It is the difference between describing what you see it do and understanding "why" it does it.
@@jnhrtmn correct, I'm not watching some rando's vids
@@riahmatic LOL It's RUclips! You may be one of those people that cannot see causality, because it wasn't taught to you.
@@jnhrtmn are you not trying to teach people? Or do you just get off on portraying yourself as enlightened? Give me a break lol

Sir divergence of Electric field is not equal to zero. For time variable field divergence of Electric field is equal to ratio of charge density over permittivity in space. Gradient of divergence of Electric field is equal to zero.
Yes, you are right! However, the video treats EM-waves in VACUUM. There are no charges, so charge density = 0.
@@fufaev-alexander OH You are right . Thanks for reply
@@fufaev-alexander The first, second, AND third dimension are in fundamental equilibrium AND BALANCE. INDEED, consider what is THE EYE ON BALANCE. E=MC2 AND TIME dilation are fully consistent with why what are OBJECTS may fall at the SAME RATE. Gravity/acceleration involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE ON BALANCE, AS the rotation of WHAT IS THE MOON matches the revolution; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity; AS WHAT IS E=MC2 is taken directly from F=ma. CLEARLY, gravity AND ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy are linked AND BALANCED opposites (ON BALANCE); AS the stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky ON BALANCE. Consider TIME AND time dilation ON BALANCE, AS TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual ON/IN BALANCE; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is CLEARLY AND NECESSARILY proven to be gravity (ON/IN BALANCE). Great. What is E=MC2 IS dimensionally consistent. What is GRAVITY IS, ON BALANCE, an INTERACTION that cannot be shielded or blocked.

@@fufaev-alexanderWHY AND HOW FRANK MARTIN DIMEGLIO HAS FUNDAMENTALLY REVOLUTIONIZED PHYSICS:
TIME is FULLY consistent WITH WHAT IS E=MC2, AS TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual ON/IN BALANCE; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is CLEARLY AND NECESSARILY proven to be gravity (ON/IN BALANCE). Consider TIME AND time dilation ON BALANCE. What is E=MC2 IS WHAT IS GRAVITY.
Consider what is the orange (AND setting) Sun ON BALANCE. It IS the SAME SIZE as what is THE EYE. NOW, consider what is the fully illuminated (AND setting/WHITE) MOON !!!! The rotation of WHAT IS THE MOON matches the revolution. The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. c squared CLEARLY (AND NECESSARILY) does represent a dimension of SPACE ON BALANCE !!! INDEED, consider what is THE EYE !!! Magnificent. NOW, consider why and how it is (ON BALANCE) that there is something instead of nothing. Great. The bulk density of WHAT IS THE MOON IS comparable to that of (volcanic) basaltic lavas ON THE EARTH. The density of lava IS about THREE times that of what is water ON BALANCE. LOOK directly overhead at what is the TRANSLUCENT AND BLUE sky. Don't forget about THE EYE ON BALANCE. (The Earth is ALSO BLUE.) The density of pure water IS HALF of that of what is packed sand/wet packed sand ON BALANCE !!!! The diameter of WHAT IS THE MOON IS about ONE QUARTER (at 27 percent) of that of what is THE EARTH ON BALANCE !! Great. ACCORDINGLY, ON BALANCE, WE MULTIPLY ONE HALF TIMES ONE THIRD in order to obtain the surface gravity of WHAT IS THE MOON in DIRECT comparison WITH WHAT IS THE EARTH/ground. (The maria then occupy, predictably, one third of the near side of what is THE MOON ON BALANCE.) Notice that the blue Moon IS INVISIBLE ON BALANCE. GREAT. So, consider what constitutes (or is) the orange Sun, ON BALANCE, AS TWO THIRDS TIMES ONE QUARTER IS ALSO ONE SIXTH !!! GREAT. AGAIN, consider what is THE EYE ON BALANCE; AS E=MC2 IS GRAVITY. BALANCE AND COMPLETENESS GO HAND IN HAND. IT ALL CLEARLY makes perfect sense ON BALANCE.

The curl of a curl of a victor field doesn't make sense. First, it's the subtraction of the grad div of F minus the grad of div of F. There is no divergence of gradient of a vector field. the Laplace operator works on the gradient of a vector field div grad f f here is a scalar not a vector. So it doesn't make sense!
I was confused by the same thing, but no, it does make sense, it's just slightly odd notation. The short answer is that the laplace operator applied to a vector field is defined as the resulting vector from applying laplace to every cartesian component of the original.
The other way to think about it is that grad of F, with F being a vector field, is actually a different way to notate the transposed jacobian of F, which is a matrix. Then, doing the dot product is equivalent to matrix multiplication of the transposed del operator with the transposed jacobian. This lands back to the previously mentioned definition of the Laplacian on a vector field. Cheers
The key to understand what is E=MC2 is the second dimension.

this is ok but you do not explain anything

Universaldenker, you got to get your fact correct to be a universal thinker. I know you are not expecting critics of Faraday / Maxwell, but I look at real science, not the name behind it. in real science = Persian, There is no magnetic / electric field in light. Light is a stream of photon. Photon has physical structure that explains its travel from A to B and interaction. The electric field needs a surface to display its property. Moving Magnetic dose move electron in conductor, but current dose not create magnetic field. Man dose not know structure of matter to understand magnetic field is by product of matter function. This is normally mitigated by electron. When electron is forced to move by a potential, the magnetic flux can escape and be detected outside conductor. This has made Maxwell to reach wrong conclusion that e/m wave in space made of e and m.
Most of western leaders know over 90% of current man’s model of space and particle physic is wrong. Angela Merkel refused to give me permission to correct them, as it will undermine western science belief. Ferydoon Shirazi. MG1
Light is an oscillating electric and magnetic field.
@@MultiversalGoat if you know electric field, you should have noticed it is true in a conductor, static field can be detected out side but their field are parallel. this make osculation wrong.
@@primemagi Light is a photon but also an electromagnetic wave. This is why from a current we can emit a variable electromagnetic wave frequency
@@googleacc7243 you are repeating current belief which is over 90% wrong. electron only move in conductor unless it is separated from nuclei like plasma.
@@primemagi you statement is 90% wrong. Metals also have free electrons that can therefore be moving charges
An excellent explanation. Thank you.
Thank you!
