From Section 1.1, we know that E, D, and all change sign under spatial inversion but not
under time reversal. We also know that H, B, and /t all change sign under time reversal
but not under spatial inversion. J changes sign under either spatial inversion or time reversal,
but never changes sign under spatial inversion or time reversal.

Each equation returns to its original form after the signs are cleared up. Hence, Maxwells
equations and the continuity equation are invariant under spatial inversion.

Note the sign of J is not changed here because it changes twice in this situation. Each equation
returns to its original form after the signs are cleared up. Hence, Maxwells equations and the
continuity equation are invariant under simultaneous spatial inversion and time reversal.

1.11.3 The photons that can be transmitted through Si without being absorbed are those that have
energies below the bandgap of Si, i.e., h < 1.12 eV. Such photons have wavelengths longer
than the wavelength corresponding to the bandgap:
