Chapter 24, Problem 24.37

(choose chapter or problem)

In a traveling electromagnetic wave, the electric field is represented mathematically as where E0 is the maximum field strength. This equation is an adaptation of Equation 16.3. (a) What is the frequency of the wave? (b) This wave and the wave that results from its reflection can form a standing wave, in a way similar to that in which standing waves can arise on a string (see Section 17.5). What is the separation between adjacent nodes in the standing wave?
