Homework 1
Complex variable, Phasors, Divergence, Rotational, Coupling light to a fiber
Aditional information
Hint for question 4A
Complex numbers
Interesting story: How the Imaginary Numbers were invented
Its inventors assumed they were giving up the connection between Mathematics and reality (by
accepting areas of negative values), however complex numbers are conceived now part of a deeper
truth (the Schrodinger Eq., which describes quantum Mechanics. )
Representation of travelling harmonic waves in complex variable: PHASORS
Video on total internal reflection (helpful for solving question 5)
Note: In case you have taken PH 411/511 ECE 598 "Introduction Quantum Mechanics", you may
opt to submit your graded HW-1 in that course + the new solution to question #5.
