Electromagnetic wave equation:
: Electric field
: refractive index
: speed of light in vacuum
OBS Light travels slower in dense media
Vacuum Air Water
1 ~1.0003 ~1.3
[kg/m3] 0 ~1.2 ~1000
[%] 0 0.03 ~23
• What happens if the properties of the medium are not constant?
The refractive index changes The propagation of light is influenced

( : is the oscillation period of light)
In air and within the audible frequency range, the acousto-optic
effect changes the phase of light , but not its amplitude.
Let us assume the following solution to the electromagnetic wave equation:
Can we still use the electromagnetic wave equation?
