  • Suppose that the electric field part of an electromagnetic wave in vacuum is E = {(3.1 N/C) cos [(1.8 rad/m) y + (5.4 × 106 rad/s)t]}ˆi . (e) Write an expression for the magnetic field part of the wave.

11) Suppose that the electric field part of an electromagnetic wave in vacuum is 

E = \left \{ ( 3.1 N/C )\cos [ ( 1.8 rad /m)y + ( 5.4 \times 10 ^6 rad /s )t] \right \} \hat i

(e) Write an expression for the magnetic field part of the wave.

As the electric field vector is directed along the negative x-direction and the electromagnetic wave propagates along the negative y-direction the magnetic field vector must be directed along the negative z-direction. (-\hat{i}\times -\hat{k}=-\hat{j})

Therefore, \vec{B}= \left \{ B_{0}\cos [ ( 1.8 rad /m)y + ( 5.4 \times 10 ^6 rad /s )t] \right \} \hat k

\vec{B}= \left \{ 1.03\times 10^{-7}\cos [ ( 1.8 rad /m)y + ( 5.4 \times 10 ^6 rad /s )t] \right \}T \hat k
