Electromagnetic waves can be propagated throught conductor.Write the probable equation for the electric and magnetic fields for a wave propagated in the X-direction.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

For a electromagnetic wave propagating in the X-direction, the field variations are in a transverse plane in the Y-Z plane. The two fields can be written as `barE = E_y.hatj = E_0 sin(omegat-kx),barB = B_zhatk = B_0 sin(omegat-kx)`
