Finite-Difference Time-Domain Algorithm for Scattering from Plane-Wave Source
Requires a Wolfram Notebook System
Interact on desktop, mobile and cloud with the free Wolfram Player or other Wolfram Language products.
A two-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) algorithm is used to generate a total-field/scattered-field plane-wave source. The generated plane wave is in the transverse magnetic mode (TM). This Demonstration shows the time evolution of the nonzero field components 
, 
and 
) of the electromagnetic wave.
