What is Wave Impedance?

This short video derives, explains, and visualizes the concept of wave impedance. It arises due to the coupling of electric and magnetic fields in Maxwell’s equations as well as through interactions with atomic scale charges. It quantifies the magnitude and phase relationship between the electric and magnetic field components of a wave. I hope you enjoy this video!
