Question 1 Consider a plane electromagnetic wave characterized by

E = E0x ậx ej(ωt – kz) + Eoy ậy ej(ωt – kz + ø)

Where ø represents the phase difference between the X and Y component.

Show that for this electromagnetic field, energy density, Poynting vector and time average
pointing vector are given by the sums of the component fields.

I determine the relationship between the resultant electric and magnetic fields of this
wave

Ii If Eoy is equal to twice Eox and ø = 45o. Determine the locus of the tip of the electric
field intensity E in the Z = 0 in the XY plane

B. Supposing the field of interest is composed of two waves with the same polarization but
travelling in the opposite direction according to

E = ậx E0 ej(ωt – kz) + ậx Eo e-j(ωt + kz)

i. Determine the energy density and instantaneous pointing vector for the field.
ii. Does the instantaneous pointing vector accounts for this transfer of energy density?
