Domain of validity of classical electrodynamics

[bigerst]

i am currently reading griffith's book on electrodynamics, though he does an excellent job with the theory (along with all the sloppiness in math) he does not really answer the question, how well does this theory apply to the real world.
i know Newton's theory is valid at v<<c, however in electrodynamics (especially radiation and optics) how valid are the results derived (for example energy radiated by oscillating dipole)? are those results experimentally verified? with only a superficial knowledge of quantum physics i know for example, the compton effect is outside the scope of classical electrodynamics, however Compton effect is simply the interaction between a wave and a charge, so how valid are other results?
It would also be helpful if anyone could direct me to books and other resources
Thanks

affe's book, "The Theory of Electromagnetism" is a great resource for understanding the application of classical electromagnetism in real world scenarios. The book covers topics such as antennas, waveguides, transmission lines, and radiating systems. It also provides a detailed look at the mathematical foundations of the theory and how these can be applied to problems. In terms of experimental verification, most of the results from classical electromagnetism have been confirmed through experiments, such as the famous Michelson-Morley experiment. Other experiments, such as the Cavendish experiment and the Faraday-Maxwell experiment, have been used to confirm the validity of classical electromagnetism. Additionally, modern experiments continue to verify the accuracy of classical electromagnetism, with results that are in agreement with theoretical predictions. Finally, there are many books and online resources available to help further understand the application of classical electromagnetism in the real world. Examples include Jackson's "Classical Electrodynamics", Griffiths "Introduction to Electrodynamics", and Feynman's Lectures on Physics.
