Today we’ll deep dive into properties of electromagnetic waves, focusing on their behavior in different media. We will cover concepts such as refractive index, critical angle and Brewster angle, presenting the Fresnel equations and the Poynting vector to describe wave energy. We will also study wave attenuation in conductive materials, introducing penetration depth and the relationship between wave frequency and material properties.

Don’t forget to follow and share the podcast with anyone that you think might profit from it, so more people can deep dive into materials engineering.
