... permittivity.3 Third , we ignore any explicit frequency dependence ( material dispersion ) of the dielectric constant . Instead , we simply choose the value of the dielectric constant appropriate to the frequency range of the physical ...
... dielectric medium is a differential equation for H ( r ) , given by equation ( 7 ) . The content of the equation is ... constant times the original function H ( r ) . This situation arises often in mathematical physics , and is called an ...
... dielectric medium can be quite complicated , there is a simple way to understand some of their qualitative features . Roughly , a mode tends to concentrate its electric - field energy in regions of high dielectric constant , while ...
... dielectric constant & ( thereby maximizing the denominator ) and to minimize the amount of spatial oscillations ( thereby mini- mizing the numerator ) while remaining orthogonal to lower - frequency modes.13 Although we derived ( 23 ) ...
