To show that the instantaneous energy density in an electromagnetic wave is equally divided between the electric field and the magnetic field, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the Energy Densities The energy density \( U \) in an electromagnetic wave can be expressed as the sum of the energy densities due to the electric field \( U_e \) and the magnetic field \( U_m \): \[ U = U_e + U_m \] Where: ...
