8.8 Suppose that the electric field amplitude of an electromagnetic wave is and that its frequency is .
(a)
Hint: \(c=\frac{E_{0}}{B_{0}}\)
Step 1: Magnitude of magnetic field strength.
Step 2: Find the angular frequency of the source.
Step 3: Find the propagation constant.
Step 4: Find the wavelength.
= 6.0 m
(b)
Hint: Electric field vector and the magnetic field vector are mutually perpendicular.
Step 1: Identify the direction of electric field vector and magnetic field vector.
If the wave is propagating in the positive x-direction, the electric field vector will be in the positive y-direction and the magnetic field vector will be in the positive z-direction.
Step 2: Find the Equation of electric field vector.
Equation of electric field vector is given by:
Step 3: Find the Equation of magnetic field vector.
\(\vec{B}=B_{0}~sin\left ( kx-\omega t \right )\hat{k}\)
\(\vec{B}=\left ( 4 \right )\times 10^{-7}~sin\left [ 1.05x-3.14\times 10^{8}t \right ]\hat{k}\)
