Question

A plane electromagnetic
wave, with wavelength 3.0 m, travels
in vacuum in the positive direction of an
x axis.The electric field, of amplitude 300 V/m, oscillates parallel to the y axis.What are the (a) frequency, (b) angular frequency, and
(c) angular wave number of the wave? (d) What is the amplitude of
the magnetic field component? (e) Parallel to which axis does the
magnetic field oscillate? (f) What is the time-averaged rate of
energy flow in watts per square meter associated with this wave?
The wave uniformly illuminates a surface of area 2.0 m2. If the
surface totally absorbs the wave, what are (g) the rate at which momentum
is transferred to the surface and (h) the radiation pressure
on the surface?
