Question: An electromagnetic wave * * Here is a particular electromagnetic field in free space: Ex = 0 , Ey = E 0 sin ( kx

An electromagnetic wave ** Here is a particular electromagnetic field in free space: Ex =0, Ey = E0 sin(kx + t), Ez =0; (9.64) Bx =0, By =0, Bz =(E0/c)sin(kx + t).
(a) Show that this field can satisfy Maxwells equations if and k are related in a certain way. (b) Suppose =1010 s1 and E0=1 kV/m. What is the wavelength? What is the energy density in joules per cubic meter, averaged over a large region? From this calculate the power density, the energy flow in joules per square meter per second.
