Electromagnetism and Light
Discover how Faraday's groundbreaking work in the 19th century revealed the connection between magnetic fields and the polarization of light, leading to the revolutionary idea that light is a form of electromagnetic radiation. Maxwell expanded on this by formulating equations that describe self-propagating electromagnetic waves, ultimately confirming the behaviors of light through Hertz's experiments. This exploration reshaped our understanding of light and its fundamental properties.In this clip
