The Lorentz Oscillator and its Applications
https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/6-007-electromagnetic-energy-from-motors-to-lasers-spring-2011/af10a4aa72a61e655726e72a47e8b71e_MIT6_007S11_lorentz.pdfWidely applicable model that describes how electrons bound to an atom respond and generate electromagnetic fields, similar to a mass on a spring. Relevant to understanding EM waves and the usually glossed over topics of Reflection, Refraction, Absorption and optical properties of plasmas. Very interesting.
