The classification of multipole radiation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Abstract
A detailed account is given of the classification of the electromagnetic fields arising from a vibrating charge-current distribution. The work owes much to that of Berestetzky and Fierz, but differs from their treatments in that the exact expansions are taken as a starting point. Hence the general forms of the potentials and fields and their approximate forms are obtained directly. Formulae appropriate to large distances are given in §§2·1 and 3·1. The relation to the approach of Condon and Shortley (4) is discussed.
