= Mode (electromagnetism)
{wiki=Mode_(electromagnetism)}
In the context of electromagnetism, "mode" typically refers to a specific pattern of electromagnetic field distribution in a given physical structure, such as waveguides, cavities, or resonators. Modes are associated with the solutions to Maxwell's equations under certain boundary conditions, and they can be characterized by their frequency and spatial field distributions.
