1. A uniform Plane wave of frequency 600 MHz is propagated in the +z

direction in a lossless dielectric with relative permittivity εr = 4 and
permeability μr = 1. The maximum value of electric field in the +y direction
is 5 V/m. Calculate the wavelength, intrinsic impedance, phase velocity,
and a time average power density.
2. Determine the frequency range for which the conduction current exceeds
the displacement current by a factor of at least 100 in seawater (σ = 4 S/m,
εr = 81 and μr = 1). This may be considered the frequency range in which
the seawater is a good conductor.
3. A uniform plane wave has a wavelength of 10 cm in free space and 1 cm in
a perfect dielectric (σ = 1 S/m and μr = 1). Determine the relative
permittivity of the dielectric.
4. A uniform plane wave is normally incident on an interface between two
dielectric mediums. Drive an expression for reflection and transmission
coefficients.
5. Consider the boundary between free space and dielectric with εr = 9 and μr
= 1. If a uniform plane wave with Eo = 1 V/m and frequency of 200 MHz
is incident from free space normal to dielectric. Find the time domain fields
of the incident, reflected, and transmitted fields.
