Question
The electric field of an electromagnetic wave is given by;E=4.45 x 102sin(3.10 x 106*pi(x-3.0 x108*t))
where everything is in SI units. What is the wave'sfrequency? and,,, what is the amplitude of the magnetic field associated withthis TEM (transverse electromagnetic) wave?

Explanation / Answer
E = 4.45 X 10 2 sin [ 3.1 X 106 * ( x - 3 X 10 8 t ) ] = 445 sin ( 3.1 X 106 x - 9.3 X 10 14 t ) ....................(1) General equation of E is E = Eo sin ( k x - t ).................................(2) where Eo = Amplitude = angular frequency By comparing (1) and (2) Angular frequency, = 9.3 X 1014 Frequency, f = / 2 = 4.65 X 10 14 Hz Amplitude of E , Eo = 445 N/C
