Waves in Free Space

new words by R. M. Panoff

Tune: Home on the Range

O, E is a field
Whose divergence will yield
The charge density times four pi.
Its curl is B dot,
Hence, in statics it's naught;
And the flux rate is just minus I.

  Waves, waves in free space.
  At the speed of light c they do hurl.
  They flux energy as their modes E and B
  Oscillate with divergenceless curl.

No monopoles yet,
So del dot B is nyet,
But the search will go with new toys.
As waves impact matter,
They reflect and back-scatter.
Transforms filter signals from noise.

  Waves, waves in free space.
  At the speed of light c they do hurl.
  They flux energy as their modes E and B
  Oscillate with divergenceless curl.


The curl of B is dE by dt
If charges move, add in Jf.
But don't be a fool
Cuz' there's no left-hand rule:
So only the right one is left.

  Waves, waves in free space.
  At the speed of light c they do hurl.
  They flux energy as their modes E and B
  Oscillate with divergenceless curl.
