    Over what frequency range are Maxwell's equations valid?

    Yes you might be right. Perhaps I was hoping there was more to it. I'll take it as it is for now unless someone else has any thoughts. Thanks for your input!

    Over what frequency range are Maxwell's equations valid?

    I doubt QED is involved - that's too advanced for this course. Like I said it was just a guess - maybe not a good one! I cannot think of anything else besides that (trying to remember my subatomic physics course).

    Over what frequency range are Maxwell's equations valid?

    Even if I am overthinking it there are only two possibilities: either Maxwells equations are valid for all frequencies, or they are not. If not, what are the ranges and why?

    Over what frequency range are Maxwell's equations valid?

    Ah I should have specified the level. The exam is for an undergraduate optics at an advanced EM level (maybe 4th year physics).

    Over what frequency range are Maxwell's equations valid?

    It's just a guess - trying to come to an answer through discussion. Any constructive input is appreciated :)

    Over what frequency range are Maxwell's equations valid?

    I should add that this is not homework for a class that I am taking, nor am I receiving any marks for answering this question. Yes I am familiar with solving DEs (I have a math degree). I am also familiar with Maxwells equations (I also have a physics degree). The question is literally as I...

    Over what frequency range are Maxwell's equations valid?

    Homework Statement I am studying for an Optics exam and in one of the practise tests is the following question: "Over what frequency range are Maxwell's equations valid?" Homework Equations Maxwell's Equations The Attempt at a Solution I've searched through my Griffiths Intro to...
