Example 2.4 Calculate the value of Poynting vector for a 60 W bulb at a distance of 0.5 m
from it.
Power 60 W.
Area 4n(0.5m)
Solution: Poynting’s vector, P
= 19.1 W/m?

A uniform plane wave having electric field intensity inair as 7 x 10° Vim in the y-direction is propagacing
in the x-direction ac a frequency of 2 x 10 radisec. Determine the frequency, wavelength, time-period
and amplitude of H.
Solution: We have
5
X10! cos (2% 108 pe)
Here @ = 2X 10'radisee, fl, = 41 x10" WeberlA-m, €, =8.85%10- C!N-m?, Now frequency is
given by

18.5 x 10° Hz=3.18x10" Hz
Wavelength is given by
v__ 3x10"
v 3.18x10Time period is given by
Amplicude of His
Therefore
