Write the expressions for the electric and magnetic fields, with their corresponding directions, of an electromagnetic wave that has an electric field parallel to the z axis and whose amplitude is 300 V/m. Also, this wave has a frequency of 3.0 GHz and travels in the +y direction.
Prove, for a plane electromagnetic wave that is normally incident on a flat surface, that the radiation pressure on the surface is equal to the energy density in the incident beam. (This relation between pressure and energy density holds no matter what fraction of the incident energy is reflected.)
The electric field of a harmonic plane electromagnetic wave propagating in vacuum is given by (0 , 0 , 4)cos(3x-ωt) V/m; hence the corresponding magnetic field is:
