Kathy Loves Physics & History | Maxwell's Equations Explained: Supplement to the History of Maxwell's Eq. @Kathy_Loves_Physics | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 3 hours ago
I start with the basics (vectors, dot & cross product) and then give an overview of where all 4 Maxwell's equations came from, what they mean, and why they are important!

How did Joseph Fraunhofer, a poor glassmaker, get saved from poverty by a prince and then discover spectroscopy (Fraunhofer lines), single slit diffraction AND the diffraction grating? I use primary sources to discover the background and the physics of this epoch making discovery.
