[PP1-5-4] Special relativity; Electromagnetic fields equations and propagations

The celebrated principle of constant speed of light and independence of the reference frame is important to explain the basic principles of instruments such as the Michelson interferometer. The basic physics theory to explain how electromagnetic fields propagates and the inter-relationship between electric and magnetic fields.
