To derive the relation for the speed of electromagnetic waves in terms of the amplitudes of the electric field (E₀) and the magnetic field (B₀), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the speed of electromagnetic waves The speed of electromagnetic waves in a vacuum is denoted by \( c \) and is approximately \( 3 \times 10^8 \) m/s. ### Step 2: Recall the relationship between electric and magnetic fields In electromagnetic waves, the electric field (E) and the magnetic field (B) are related to each other. The speed of the wave can be expressed in terms of the amplitudes of these fields. ...
