The uniform plane wave (traveling in z direction) does not have any field components of E & H
in its direction of travel.

Therefore the UPWs are transverse., having field components (of E & H ) only in directions

Sinusoidal Time Variations:
In practice, most generators produce voltage and currents and hence electric and magnetic fields
which vary sinusoidally with time. Further, any periodic variation can be represented as a weight
sum of fundamental and harmonic frequencies.
Therefore we consider fields having sinusoidal time variations, for example,
E = Em cos t
E = Em sin t
Here, w = 2f, f = frequency of the variation.

The symbol tilda placed above the E vector represents that E is time varying quantity.

Ex r denotes Ex as a function of space (x,y,z). In general Ex r is complex and hence can be
represented as a point in a complex and hence can be represented as a point in a complex plane.
(see fig) Multiplication by e jwt results in a rotation through an angle wt measured from the angle
. At t increases, the point Ex e jwt traces out a circle with center at the origin. Its projection on
the real axis varies sinusoidally with time & we get the time-harmonically varying electric field
% (varying sinusoidally with time). We note that the phase of the sinusoid is determined by ,
Ex
the argument of the complex number Ex.
Therefore the time varying quantity may be expressed as

Concept of wave motion:
r
Eqn (1) states that if the electric field E changes with time, at some point, this change produces
r
a rotating curling magnetic field at that point; H varying spatially in a direction normal to its
r
r
orientation. Further, if E changes with time, in general, so does H although not necessarily in
the same way.
r
r
r
Next, from eqn. (2), we note that a time varying H generates a rotating E , ( curl E ), and this
r
r
E varies spatially in a direction normal to its orientation. Because H varies with time, so does
r
E but need not be in the same way therefore we once again have a time changing electric field
25
( our original hypothesis from (1) ), but this field is present a small distance away from the point
of original disturbance. The velocity with which the effect moves away from the original point is
the velocity of light as we are going to see later.

This means that the function f1 x 0t has traveled along + z axis with a velocity 0 . This is
called a traveling wave.
On the other hand f 2 z 0t represents a wave traveling along z axis with a velocity 0 and
is called a reflected wave, as we shall further seen in the next semester, in the topic transmission
line.
This shows that the wave equation has two solutions ( as expected, since the wave eqn. is a
second order PDE ) a traveling wave ( or forward wave ) along + z direction represented by
f1 z 0t and the other a reverse traveling wave ( reflected wave ) along z axis. If there is no
reflecting surface, the second term of eqn. (8) is zero, resulting is
E = f1 z 0t _________(9)

Remember that eqn. (9) is a solution of the wave equation and is only for the particular case
r
where the electric field E is independent of x and y directions; and is a function of z and t only.
Such a wave is called also the equation does not indicate the specific shape of the wave

Sinusoidal Time Variations:
In practice, most generators produce voltage and currents and hence electric and magnetic fields
which vary sinusoidally with time. Further, any periodic variation can be represented as a weight
sum of fundamental and harmonic frequencies.
Therefore we consider fields having sinusoidal time variations, for example,
E = Em cos t
E = Em sin t
Here, w = 2f, f = frequency of the variation.

Ex r denotes Ex as a function of space (x,y,z). In general Ex r is complex and hence can be

(see fig) Multiplication by e jwt results in a rotation through an angle wt measured from the angle
. At t increases, the point Ex e jwt traces out a circle with center at the origin. Its projection on
the real axis varies sinusoidally with time & we get the time-harmonically varying electric field

We choose some reference point on the wave, the cosine function,(say a rest). The value of
the wave ie., the cosine is an integer multiple of 2 at erest.
k0 z 2m
at mth erest.
Now let us fix our position on the wave as this mth erest and observe time variation at this
position, nothing that the entire cosine argument is the same multiple of 2 for all time in
order to keep track of the point.
ie.,
t k0 0 z 2m t z / c
Thus at t increases, position z must also increase to satisfy eqn. ( ). Thus the wave erest (and
the entire wave moves in a +ve direction) with a speed given by the above eqn.
56
Similarly, eqn. ( ) having a cosine argument t 0 z describes a wave that moves in the
negative direction (as + increases z must decrease to keep the argument constant). These two
waves are called the traveling waves.

From (2) we note that a time varying H generates E ; this electric field, having a curl,
therefore varies spatially in a direction normal to its orientation direction.
We thus have once more a time changing electric field, our original hypothesis, but this field is
present a small distance away from the point of the original disturbance.
The velocity with which the effect has moved away from the original disturbance is the
velocity of light as we are going to prove later.

Uniform plane wave is defined as a wave in which (1) both fields E and H lie in the

Therefore we call such a wave as transverse electro magnetic wave or TEM wave.

Let us consider some point, for instance, the crest or trough or zero crossing (either ve to +ve or
+ve to ve). Having chosen such a reference, say the crest, on the forward-propagating cosine
function, ie., the function cos t k0 z 1 . For a erest to occur, the argument of the cosine
must be an integer multiple of 2. Consider the mth erest of the wave from our reference point,
the condition becomes,
K0z = 2m, m an integer.
This point on the cosine wave we have chosen, let us see what happens as time increases.
The entire cosine argument must have the same multiple of 2 for all times, in order to keep
track of the chosen point.
Therefore we get,
t k0 z t Z / 2m _______(18)
As time increases, the position Z must also increase to satisfy (18). The wave erest, and the entire
wave, moves in the positive Z-direction with a phase velocity C (in free space).

Therefore the wave is said to the circularly polarized. Further we see that the sense or direction
of rotation is that of a left handed screw advancing in the Z-direction ( ie., in the direction of

Similar remarks hold for a right-circularly polarized wave represented by the complex vector,

It is apparent that a reversal of the sense of rotation may be obtained by a 180 0 phase shift

Thus the end point of the E% 0, t vector traces out an ellipse and the wave is elliptically

Elliptical polarization is a more general form of polarization. The polarization is completely
specified by the orientation and axial ratio of the polarization ellipse and by the sense in which
the end point of the electric field moves around the ellipse.
Therefore at the boundary, ie., at x = 0, the electric field is zero. This requires that, the sum of the
electric field strengths in the initial and reflected waves add to give zero resultant field strength
in the plane x = 0.
Er Ei _______(3)
The amplitude of the reflected electric field strength is equal to that of the incident electric field
strength but its phase has been reversed on reflection.
The resultant electric field strength at any point at any point a distance x from the x = 0 plane is
the sum of the field strengths of the incident and reflected wave at that point, given by
ET x Ei e j x Er e j x
2 jEi e j x e j x
r% r
ET x , t Re 2 jEi sin x e j t
1. Eqn. (3) shows that (1) the incident and reflected waves combine to produce a standing
wave, which does not progress.
2. The magnitude of the electric field varies sinusoidally with distance from the reflecting
plane.
3. It is zero at the surface and at multiples of half wave lengths from the surface.
4. It has a maximum value of twice the electric field strength of the incident wave at
distances from the surface that are odd multiples of a quarter wavelength.
In as much as the BCs require that the electric field is reversed in phase on reflection to produce
zero resultant field at the boundary surface.
r
Therefore if follows that H must be reflected without phase reversal. (otherwise if both are
reversed, on reversal of direction of energy propagation), which is required in this case).
Therefore the phase of the mag field strength is the same as that of the incident mag field
strength Hi at the surface of reflection.

The resultant magnetic field strength H also has a standing was distribution. This SWD has
maximum value at the surface of the conductor and at multiples of a half from the surface,
where as the zero points occur at odd multiples of a quarter wavelength from the surface. From
the boundary conditions for H its follows that there must be a surface current of Js amperes per
such that JS = HT (at x = 0).
Since Ei and Hi were in phase in the incident plane wave, eqns. (6) and (7) show that E T and HT
are 90 0out of time phase because of the factor j in eqn. (4).
This is as it should be, for it indicates no average flow of power. This is the case when the energy
transmitted in the forward direction is equaled by that reflected back.
Let us rewrite eqns. (4) and (6)

Taking the divergence of this equation gives equation (9) and thus the inconsistency has

That is, the tangential component of H is continuous (for finite current densities i.e., for any
actual case).
In case of a perfect conductor: A perfect
conductor has infinite conductivity. In such a
conductor, the electric field strength E is zero for any finite current density. However, the actual
conductivity may be very large and for many practical applications, it is useful to assume it to be
infinite. Such an approximation will lead to difficulties because of indeterminacy in formulating
the boundary conditions unless care is taken in setting them up. The depth of penetration of an ac
field into a conductor decreases as the conductivity increases. Thus in a good conductor a hf
current will flow in a thin sheet near the surface, the depth of the sheet approaching zero as the
conductivity approaches infinity. This gives to the useful concept of a current sheet. In a current
sheet a finite current per unit width, J z amperes per meter flows in a sheet of vanishingly small
depth x, but with the required infinitely large current density J, such that
limx 0, Jx = Jz
Now consider again the above example the mmf around the small rectangle. If the current
density Jz becomes infinite as x0, the RHS of equation 14 will not become zero. Let Jz
amperes per metre be the actual current per unit width flowing along the surface. Then as x0,
equation 14 for H becomes,
Hy2 y
Hy1 y = Jsz y.
Hence
Hy1 = Hy2 - Jsz
---- (15)
Now if the electric field is zero inside a perfect conductor, the magnetic field must also be zero,
for alternating fields, as the second Maxwells equation shows. Then, in equation 15, Hy2 must be
zero.
So,
Hy1 =
- Jsz
----(16)
This equation states that the current per unit width along the surface of a perfect conductor is
equal to the magnetic field strength H just outside the conductor. The magnetic field and the
surface current will be parallel to the surface, but perpendicular to each other. In vector notation,
this is written as,
H
n
where n is the unit vector along the outward normal to the surface.

for x = 0.Then for the case of no surface charge condition on the normal components of D
Dn1 = Dn2
---- (18)
That is, if there is no surface charge, the normal component of D is continuous across the
surface.
In the case of a metallic surface: In the case of a metallic surface, the charge is considered to
reside on the surface. If this layer of surface charge has a surface charge density S Coulombs
per square meter, the charge density of the surface layer is given by
S
C/m 3
x
where x is the thickness of the surface layer. As x approaches zero, the charge density
approaches infinity in such a manner that

lim x 0 x
Then in fig 3, if the surface charge is always kept between the two flat surfaces as the seperation
between them is decreased, the RHS of equation (17) approaches S dS as x approaches zero.
Equation 17 then reduces to
D n1 D n2 S
----( 19 )
When there is a surface charge density S, the normal component of displacement density is
discontinuous across the surface by the amount of the surface charge density.
For any metallic conductor the displacement density, D = E within the conductor will be a
small quantity( it will be zero in the electrostatic case, or in the case of a perfect conductor).
Then if the medium (2) is a metallic conductor, Dn2 = 0 ; and the equation (19) becomes
Dn1 = S
----(20)
The normal component of the displacement density in the dielectric is equal to the surface
charge density on the conductor.
