ANSWER:
Solution 9P
Step 1 of 5:
Consider a monochromatic plane wave of amplitude , frequency and phase angle zero.
a) We need to find out the electric and magnetic fields of the monochromatic plane wave travelling in the negative direction and polarized in the direction.
The wave is travelling in direction and polarized in the direction, the propagation vector is given by,
And
So
