Near vs. Far Field
Photons don't neatly fit into classical electromagnetism, requiring a quantum field theory perspective for a complete understanding. The distinction between near field and far field is crucial, as it affects how electromagnetic waves propagate and interact with materials. Different diffraction patterns emerge depending on the proximity to the source, influencing the design of electromagnetically sensitive devices.In this clip
