Abstract

Understanding electromagnetic wave physical phenomena in three dimensions can be challenging. This research aims to create a model for how electromagnetic waves travel through a three-dimensional medium. One of the best ways to visualize this type of electromagnetic wave is Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD). The simulation results revealed that the properties of the dielectric material and conductivity affect the shape of the sinusoidal pulse propagation, where the electromagnetic wave experiences reflection and transmission. The properties of the material influence the electric and magnetic fields in various ways, affecting the interaction between the transmitted and reflected waves. This interaction is influenced by several factors, such as permeability, and leads to either constructive or destructive interference. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
