To solve the problem, we need to find the maximum electric force and the maximum magnetic force acting on an electron moving in the presence of an electromagnetic wave. Let's break down the solution step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the given electric field The electric field is given by: \[ E_y = 300 \, \text{V/m} \cdot \sin(\omega t - \frac{x}{c}) \] From this equation, we can identify the maximum electric field \( E_0 \): \[ E_0 = 300 \, \text{V/m} \] ...
