Problem on plane electromagnetic wave


A plane electromagnetic wave, having wavelength of 1.8 m, travels in the vacuum in positive direction of an x axis. The electric field having amplitude 370 V/m, oscillates parallel to the y-axis. Determine the (i) frequency, (ii) angular frequency, (iii) angular wave number of the wave? (iv) Determine the amplitude of the magnetic field component? (v) Parallel to which axis does the magnetic field oscillate? (vi) Evaluate the time-averaged rate of energy flow in watts per square meter related with the wave? The wave uniformly illuminates surface of area 2.0 m2. If the surface completely absorbs the wave, then what are (vii) the rate at which momentum is transferred to the surface and (viii) the radiation pressure on the surface?
