In
a plane electromagnetic wave, the electric field oscillates
sinusoidally at a frequency of 2.0 × 1010
Hz and amplitude 48 V m−1.


(a) What
is the wavelength of the wave?


(b)
What is the amplitude of the
oscillating magnetic field?



(c) Show
that the average energy density of the E
field equals the average energy
density of the B field.
[c =
3 × 108
m s−1.]
