so that initially the electric and magnetic components dilfer in phase by a quarter period. At great distances, however, we have 8' = 7nr, so that the phase of the magnetic component does not increase proportionately to r, but there is a loss of ^tt, with the result that at a distance from the… … of the electric and magnetic components difter byTr. The velocity of propagation of the magnetic component may be found by considering the wave front where the magnetic force is zero. We have then 1 tan [nt - mr) Therefore dr _n 1 + mh''^ dt ~ m mh-'"
