Abstract

[There are three areas of physics which matter most to our geophysics: electricity, magnetism and light waves. I have used the term ‘light waves’ as it is much shorter than the correct term, ‘electromagnetic waves’, but you have to understand that we will be looking at waves well beyond those the eye can see as we must include radio waves, microwaves and infra red. We will look at the basics of each subject in turn. We need to look at the science in this chapter, and then how we might use these effects to detect archaeology in Chapter 3.]
