      Interference is a phenomenon in which two waves superimpose to form a resultant wave of greater or lesser amplitude.

Perhaps the most significant prediction of Maxwell’s equations is the existence of combined electric and magnetic (or electromagnetic) fields that propagate through space as electromagnetic waves. Because Maxwell’s equations hold in free space, the predicted electromagnetic waves, unlike mechanical waves, do not require a medium for their propagation.

      Wave motion transfers energy from one point to another, usually without permanent displacement of the particles of the medium.

Despite being a special case, the solution turns out to be broadly applicable, appearing as a common building block in many practical and theoretical problems in unguided propagation, as well as in more than a few transmission line and waveguide problems.

It details boundary condition fulfillment in resonators and the establishment of resonant frequencies. The latter part covers the generation and reception of waves via antennas and arrays, extending to anisotropic, dispersive, and ionized media.
