Hey guys - so, back to those basic gaps I have about EM.
With RF, how is the energy being transmitted over the air? I can understand the holes/electrons concept in the wires, but when it gets to RF frequency, what is actually being transmitted, to then induce current (or voltage?) in another conductor?
Would it be correct to envision the electrons inside a wire, when "agitated" to RF frequency, suddenly radiate off as disembodied wave-like energy (not unlike duality of photons?) that then induces current (voltage?) in a receiving conductor, and in the conductor then "become" electrons again and travels in the current?
I have a hard time envisioning the conduction channel over-the-air / space. Although I suppose one can say the same thing about photons traveling through space like any other particle.
