Problem32 04

A electromagnetic wave is propagating in the -z direction with a frequency of 6.90 × 1014 Hz. The maximum electric field is 2.70 × 10-3 V/m in the x direction. The maximum magnetic field is calculated to be 9.00 × 10-12 T in the -y direction, as it must be perpendicular to both the electric field and the propagation direction based on the right-hand rule. Expressions are given for the electric and magnetic fields as a function of position and time.

c) The electric field is in the x -direction, and the wave is propagating in the z-
direction. So the magnetic field is in the y-direction, since S  E  B. Thus:
