Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

6.2.1 Light Management Basics

Course subject(s) Module 6 – Light management 1

The Maxwell Equations

A discussion of the behaviour of light starts with the question: What is light? In this video you will learn about the fundamental constituents of light and we will discuss the Maxwell equations, that are the basis for electromagnetic theory. You need not understand every equation in this video, but it is a useful video to start of with.

Sorry but there don't seem to be any downloads..
