What are the properties of an EM wave? Be sure to answer the following questions: What is it made up of? How are the parts related to one another? What type of wave is it (transverse or longitudinal) and why? Does an EM wave require a medium? If so, then what medium is required for an EM wave? Then list the various types of EM waves in order of increasing frequency. Include a diagram of the EM wave that illustrates your answers and also include the direction of propagation (or the Poynting vector) for the EM wave in your diagram.

If you have an EM wave traveling in the +y-direction and the maximum Magnetic field is B=3.0x10-12 T î. What direction is the Electric field traveling? 2. What is the magnitude of the electric field at the maximum point? 3. What is the Poynting vector for the maximum points of this EM wave? 4. The intensity is the average value of the function of the poynting vector. If you multiply each magnitude (E and B) by a sine function, you’ll get sin2(wt) that multiplies E and B for some w. Find the average value of the trigonometric function, and use it to find the intensity of the electromagnetic wave. can you please answer part 4 and explain what formula you used to solve it
