Question: ( 1 4 points ) EM Plane Wave Consider a plane wave traveling through empty space which has an intensity of 5 0 0 W

(14 points) EM Plane Wave Consider a plane wave traveling through empty space which has an intensity of 500Wm2 and whose wavelength is 700 nm . This wave travels in the negative-x-direction and is polarizedrith its electric field along the y-direction.
(a) What are the wave number and frequency f this wave? (4 pts)
(b) What are the amplitudes of the electric and magnetic fields in this wave? (4 pts)
(c) Write-down the equation which gives the magnetic field as a function of time and position, vec(B)(x,t), where you may choose coordinates so that the field is at a maximum at x=t=0. Plug in any relevant numerical values from above - the only variables in your formula should be x and t.(6 pts)
