The figure below shows a plane electromagnetic sinusoidal wave propagating in the x direction. Suppose the wavelength is 58.0 m and the
electric field vibrates in the xy plane with an amplitude of 18.0 V/m.

Problem solving steps 1. Visualize problem – labeling variables 2. Determine which basic physical principle(s) apply 3. Write down the appropriate equations using the variables defined in step 1. 4. Check whether you have the correct amount of information to solve the problem (same number of knowns and unknowns). 5. Solve the equations. 6. Check whether your answer makes sense (units, order of magnitude, etc.). Docsity.com Comment on AC circuits: I1 I2 I3 321 32 2 1 0 0 III C Q dt dIL dt dILRI E Solution method: 1.
