Electromagnetic wave; the classical model...
There appears to me to be an obvious flaw in the classical version of electro magnetic waves (before we even consider quantum theory. ) Forgive me if I'm wrong but surely fields cannot travel as waves - after all, a field permeates space, getting weaker with distance, so how exactly can these fields actually travel forward as a wave?
Thanks in advance. :rofl:
