The electric field of an electromagnetic plane wave traveling in a vaccum is described by
E(x,y,z,t) = 200 (V/m)ex*ei(ky-ωt)
with k = 1.0 * 107/m and ω = 3 * 1015 rad/s
Find the vector expression that describes the corresponding magnetic field of this wave.
6. Use Maxwell's equations (see Section 4.1.1) to show that if the charge density field e and the current density
field J are zero, the electric vector field E satisfies the "wave equation"
c?V²E = 0.
This is the fundamental equation that describes the propagation of electromagnetic waves, such as light.
