A plane electromagnetic wave, with wavelength 3.5 m, travels in vacuum in the positive direction of an x axis. The
electric field, of amplitude 350 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 associated with this
wave? The wave uniformly illuminates a surface of area 2.5 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?
