Kinks and Maxwell's Equations--EM Wave Radiation

Jan 09, 2005 0 Replies

In some more advanced physics books, the idea of how waves form and detach from an oscillating electric dipole is shown using the concept of a kink. Is it possible to derive the propagated wave equation from that approach, or does it simply require Maxwell's equations?
