Abstract
The theory developed by Maxwell and Hertz describes electromagnetic waves by means of two vector fields E and H, the electric and magnetic fields. The waves are characterized by a frequency ω, and the properties of the medium in which the waves propagate are given by the material constants e and µ. The impressed forces which generate the waves are described as electric and magnetic currents which we denote by J and J′.
