We deal with sinusoidal waves because all other shapes can be nade from
combinations of these.

Particle aspects of radiation come to the fore only when radiation
interaxts with matter.

Physics tells us a particle that moves with constant momentum in a
straight line according to Newton`s first law (inertia statement) has
wave motion, according to the "de Broglie hypothesis". Lambda = Planck`s
constant / momentum.

The wave aspect of EM radiation is used as a model to make the
phenomenon intelligible in terms of familiar laws and events of our
everyday, large-scale world.

The 3rd edition of Kraus` "Antennas" says on page 904:
"They (computer program designers) could develop software to simulate
the performance of antennas. In general, these techniques either
numerically solve Maxwell`s equations by descretizing the problem using
integral techniques, such as Moment Methods (MoM) as discussed in
Sec.14-11, or differential technuques, such as finite elements or finite
difference-time domain."

Maxwell gave us everything we need.

Again you are misquoting and this time it is Planck
His constant evolved around a proton where the results has some
conflicts to this day
with respect to classical science. When he was studying black holes in
the aether he saw it as PROTONS escaping
and not particles such as neutrinos which have since proven to have
mass where he was using the term momentum which is a varient of mass
and gravitational effects. There is nothing that suggests that energy
can be carried without the presence of mass and thus the wave of
energy as inferred by many is debunked, Yes Maxwell left a lot but he
nevver alluded to static particles and piossibly not even to the pre
condition pf equilibrium.
What he is famous for is noting all the observations and equations of
his predecessors and used his mathematical acumen to reduce or
condense the laws given to him of which he did not individually
contribute as personal observations at that particular time. Gauss
specifically mentioned static particles where
Maxwell omitted such references thus leaving radiation as a mystery
where the "wave" format gained strength because of the magnetic field
format b ut with which Einstein disagreed. Einsteins foray into
relativity further debunked the idea of waves or energy without mass
to carry potential energy or to
show the effects of kinetic energy and the association between gravity
and momentum and the importance of frequency of movement.

You cannot rely on the forever continuance of old books that were used
in your part of the centuries as being imbedded in stone based on your
own particular life span.History shows that new generations come along
using the education of their fore fathers on whose shoulders they
stand and where the human race requires challenge that the past may
or may not accept when their time comes about and thoughts go with
them. Remember a constant as used by Planck is purely a mathematical
condition which describes an event that occurrs physically without
change such that a number can be prented in the place of a full
description of the actual event in a similar way the "wek force" has
been calculatedf for the past century.
