we assume that at any point in space, the magnitudes E and B

of the fields depend upon x and t only, and not upon the y or z
coordinate.

Ray as the line along which the wave travels, then all rays for these
waves are parallel.

This entire collection of waves is often called a plane wave.

The Solution:

The ratio /k equals the speed of an electromagnetic wave, c :

Thus, for electromagnetic waves, the wavelength and frequency of these waves are
related by:
 Plane Electromagnetic Waves

at every instant the ratio of the magnitude of the electric field to the magnitude of
the magnetic field in an electromagnetic wave equals the speed of light.

Summaries:
• The solutions of Maxwell’s third and fourth equations are
wave-like, with both E and B satisfying a wave equation.
• Electromagnetic waves travel through empty space at the
speed of light (c).
• The components of the electric and magnetic fields of
plane electromagnetic waves are perpendicular to each
other and perpendicular to the direction of wave
propagation.
• The electromagnetic waves are transverse waves.

• If you charge a comb by running it through your hair and
then hold the comb next to a bar magnet, do the electric
and magnetic fields produced constitute an
electromagnetic wave?
• An electromagnetic wave in vacuum has an electric field
amplitude of 220 V/m. Calculate the amplitude of the
corresponding magnetic field.
