Suppose that a positive point charge q is initially at rest on the x-axis, in the path

Question:

Suppose that a positive point charge q is initially at rest on the x-axis, in the path of the electromagnetic plane wave described in Section 32.2. Will the charge move after the wave front reaches it? If not, why not? If the charge does move, describe its motion  qualitatively. (Remember that E̅(vector) and B̅(vector) have the same value at all points behind the wave front.)
