Electromagnetism,
Waves, and Photons


Electromagnetism

Although the laws of electromagnetism are well established, the fundamental mechanism behind them remains elusive. This section explores the core question: "What is electromagnetism?"

Photon

Are electromagnetic phenomena best described as waves or as photons? This section examines the photon dilemma, with particular attention to the concept of wave packets.

Waves

Building on the previous sections, this part offers further insights into the interplay between waves and photons, and explores the connection between electromagnetic radiation and mass.

Applications

This webpage highlights various applications of electromagnetism, including the Young's experiment and the iconic equation E = mc2, interpreted through an electromagnetic lens.
