Question: Radiation and a copper wire A slab ( pulse ) of electromagnetic radiation that is ( h = 1 5 mathrm { ~cm

Radiation and a copper wire
A slab (pulse) of electromagnetic radiation that is \( h=15\mathrm{~cm}\) thick is propagating downward (in the \(-y \) direction) toward a short horizontal copper wire located at the origin and oriented parallel to the \( z \) axis, as shown in the figure.
(a) The direction of the electric field inside the slab is out of the page (in the \(+z \) direction). What is the direction of the magnetic field inside the slab?
(b) You stand on the \( x \) axis at location \(14,0,0>m \), at right angles to the direction of propagation of the pulse. Your friend stands on the \( z \) axis at location \(0,0,14>\mathrm{m}\). The pulse passes the copper wire at time \( t_{1}=0\), and at a later time \( t_{2}\) you observe new non-zero electric and magnetic fields at your location. What is \( t_{2}\)?(give a numerical answer.)
