Check Your Understanding What conclusions did our analysis of Maxwell's equations lead to about these properties of a plane electromagnetic wave: (a) the relative directions of wave propagation, of the E field, and of B field, (b) the speed of travel of the wave and how the speed depends on frequency, and (c) the relative magnitudes of the E and B fields.

Check Your Understanding The wave equation was obtained by (1) finding the E field produced by the changing B field. (2) finding the B field produced by the changing E field, and combining the two results. Which of Maxwell’s equations was the basis of step (1) and which of step (2)?
Radio station WWVB, operated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) from Fort Collins, Colorado, at a low frequency of 60 kHz, broadcasts a time synchronization signal whose range covers the entire continental US. The timing of the synchronization signal is controlled by a set of atomic clocks to an accuracy of 101012 s, and repeats every 1 minute. The signal is used for devices, such as radio-controlled watches, that automatically synchronize with it at preset local times. WWVB's long wavelength signal tends to propagate close to the ground. (a) Calculate the wavelength of the radio waves from WWVB. (b) Estimate the error that the travel time of the signal causes in synchronizing a radio controlled watch in Norfolk, Virginia, which is 1570 mi (2527 km) from Fort Collins, Colorado.
