Tutorial 4
1. A uniform plane wave at frequency of 300 MHz travels in vacuum along +y direction. The
electric field of the wave at some instant is given as

+ .
=
Find the phase constant of the wave and also the vector magnetic field.

2. A uniform plane wave travelling in +z direction has two components of electric field
=

, = /_

At some instant say t = 0, the component is maximum. Find the magnitude and
direction of the field at t = 0 and at t = 0.1 nsec. Frequency of the wave is 2Ghz.

3. A uniform plane wave travels in +x direction. The phasor electric field for the wave is

(
+ )

Find the equation of the ellipse of polarization. Find the maximum magnitude of the
field. Also find the sense of rotation.

Take home assignment (Due date 13 / 10 / 2016):

A uniform plane wave travelling in a medium having dielectric constant 9, has peak
electric field of 10 V/m. The frequency of the wave is 1 GHz. Find the wavelength
and peak magnetic field of the wave. If at some location (z= 0) and some instant(t=0)
, the electric field is 5 V/m, find the magnitudes of the electric and magnetic fields at
z = 2 m and t = 50 msec. Assume the wave to be moving in +z direction.
