1) A lightwave is propagating in the y-axis of a Cartesian coordinate system and it is polarized in the z direction. It is known that the wave propagating with a half speed of free space propagation, its wavelength is green (500 nm) before entering the medium characterized by refractive index, n. The light power intensity is carried by the wave 100 mW/m^2. a) Draw a Cartesian coordinate system showing the wave propagation with k-wave vector, Also, show the Electrical and Magnetic fields on the drawing b) Calculate the k (wave vector) and W (angular frequency) for given numerical values,Find the wave amplitudes in the medium d) Write down the complete mathematical expression for the lightwave described in detail above
