Goal for Today! We know an aelerated harge radiate EM wave! Matter i made of harged partile! EM wave paing through matter aelerate them! They radiate EM wave in return! What happen in the end?! It hould explain how EM wave behave in matter! In partiular, why doe it travel lower?! We put together many harge and aelerate them! And try to figure out what happen to the EM field around
