SUMMARY
Maxwell's theory of wave propagation describes how electromagnetic waves travel through space, fundamentally linking electricity and magnetism. This theory is encapsulated in Maxwell's equations, which provide a mathematical framework for understanding the behavior of electric and magnetic fields. The physical interpretation of this theory reveals that light is an electromagnetic wave, demonstrating the dual nature of light as both a particle and a wave. This understanding is crucial for advancements in optics and telecommunications.
