A snapshot graph of an EM plane wave is shown below. The electric field is parallel to the y-axis and the magnetic field is parallel to the z-axis. The points labeled 1, 2 and 3 are in the
(x, y) plane.

Rank the magnitude of the magnetic field at points 1, 2 and 3. If field is 0 at any of these
points, state so explicitly. Explain

What is the direction of propagation of the plane wave? Explain

If the wavelength of the plane wave is λ = 600 nm and the magnitude of the electric field is E
= 10 V/m, write an expression for the B field in the form B = B sin(Cx + Dt) .
Give the values of Bo, C and D.
Take for the speed of light c = 3x10 m/s
