16.3: Plane Electromagnetic Waves
We now consider solutions to Equation 16.3.8 in the form of plane waves for the electric field: Ey(x, t) = E0cos(kx − ωt). We have arbitrarily taken the wave to be traveling in the +x -direction and chosen its phase so that the maximum field strength occurs at the origin at time t = 0.Web
