What is the actual definition of the TM mode? A typical definition that I've come across is that there is no Magnetic field component in the direction of wave propagation. As it is an EM wave, according to that definition the Magnetic field should be in the plane normal to the direction of...

Thanks for the explanation..But I have some more doubts. If we think of a practical application of a radio communication link of 10km, does the receiving antenna directly experience the field which is created by the transmitting antenna 10kms away? Is it what then induces a current in the...

Can anyone provide a brief explanation what an EM mode is? I've read some EM theory, but still have problems understanding what a mode really is! I know for some EM waves, the medium supports only certain modes, but is the 'mode' a property of a medium? Or is it something that should be...

Can anyone provide a basic explanation what a boson is? I am not very familiar with quantum physics, so couldn't find an understandable explanation in the web. Thanks!

I have some basic doubts regarding how the energy is transferred (e.g. transmission of radio waves) as EM waves. As I know, the wave is not anything that can be practically seen in the space, but it is a model that we use to describe how energy is transferred. But if we think practically, how...
