2. Radiative transfer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiative_transfer

   Radiative transfer (also called radiation transport) is the physical phenomenon of energy transfer in the form of electromagnetic radiation. The propagation of radiation through a medium is affected by absorption, emission, and scattering processes. The equation of radiative transfer describes these interactions mathematically. Equations of ...

3. List of textbooks in electromagnetism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_textbooks_in...

   In addition to the mentioned classic books, in recent years there have been a few well-received electromagnetic textbooks published for graduate studies in physics, with one of the most notable being Modern Electrodynamics by Andrew Zangwill published in 2013, which has been praised by many physicists like John Joannopoulos, Michael Berry, Rob ...

4. Electromagnetic radiation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_radiation

   In physics, electromagnetic radiation (EMR) is the set of waves of an electromagnetic (EM) field, which propagate through space and carry momentum and electromagnetic radiant energy. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Classically , electromagnetic radiation consists of electromagnetic waves , which are synchronized oscillations of electric and magnetic fields .

5. Stefan–Boltzmann law - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan–Boltzmann_law

   Bartoli in 1876 had derived the existence of radiation pressure from the principles of thermodynamics. Following Bartoli, Boltzmann considered an ideal heat engine using electromagnetic radiation instead of an ideal gas as working matter. The law was almost immediately experimentally verified.

6. Fundamentals of Physics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamentals_of_Physics

   The textbook covers most of the basic topics in physics: Mechanics; Waves; Thermodynamics; Electromagnetism; Optics; Special Relativity; The extended edition also contains introductions to topics such as quantum mechanics, atomic theory, solid-state physics, nuclear physics and cosmology. A solutions manual and a study guide are also available. [5]

7. Kirchhoff's law of thermal radiation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirchhoff's_law_of_thermal...

   Kirchhoff's original contribution to the physics of thermal radiation was his postulate of a perfect black body radiating and absorbing thermal radiation in an enclosure opaque to thermal radiation and with walls that absorb at all wavelengths. Kirchhoff's perfect black body absorbs all the radiation that falls upon it.

8. Lectures on Theoretical Physics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/.../Lectures_on_Theoretical_Physics

   Lectures on Theoretical Physics is a six-volume series of physics textbooks translated from Arnold Sommerfeld's classic German texts Vorlesungen über Theoretische Physik. The series includes the volumes Mechanics , Mechanics of Deformable Bodies , Electrodynamics , Optics , Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics , and Partial Differential ...

9. The Feynman Lectures on Physics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/.../The_Feynman_Lectures_on_Physics

   The Feynman Lectures on Physics is a physics textbook based on a great number of lectures by Richard Feynman, a Nobel laureate who has sometimes been called "The Great Explainer". [1] The lectures were presented before undergraduate students at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), during 1961–1964.
