To solve the problem of calculating the energy densities of the electric and magnetic fields for a plane light wave, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the concept of energy density The energy density (u) of an electromagnetic wave is the energy stored per unit volume. It is divided into two parts: the energy density of the electric field (u_E) and the energy density of the magnetic field (u_B). ### Step 2: Formula for energy density The energy density of the electric field is given by: \[ u_E = \frac{1}{2} \epsilon_0 E^2 \] ...
