Comprehensive Final Exam

Major Measurable Learning Objectives:

1. Use Faraday's law to solve magnetic induction problems with both

transformer and/or motional EMF.

2. Use Maxwell's time-dependent equations to obtain and solve wave equations

for time-harmonic plane waves.

3. Characterize the propagation of time harmonic plane waves in different

types of material media.

4. Characterize reflection and transmission of plane waves at normal and

oblique incidence.

5. Characterize reflection and transmission of plane waves at multiple

material interfaces and design simple matching interfaces.
