Including reflection, refraction, and waveguides.
The textbook Classical Electricity and Magnetism by Wolfgang K. H. Panofsky and Melba Phillips remains one of the most respected pillars of graduate-level physics literature. Since its original publication, it has served as a rigorous bridge for students moving from introductory physics to advanced theoretical research.
Most university libraries provide digital access to this text through platforms like ProQuest or JSTOR. Including reflection, refraction, and waveguides

The behavior of steady currents and magnetic materials. Maxwell’s Equations: The unification of the laws of EM. Panofsky and Melba Phillips remains one of the
Whether you are a graduate student preparing for quals or a seasoned engineer looking to brush up on the fundamentals of field theory, Classical Electricity and Magnetism by Panofsky and Phillips is a top-tier resource. It manages to be both a challenging textbook and a timeless reference manual, proving that while technology changes, the fundamental laws of Maxwell remain as elegant as ever.
The authors never lose sight of the fact that EM is an experimental science. The book provides excellent context on how theoretical equations manifest in laboratory settings. Detailed analysis of fields in vacuum and matter
