Relationship between electric field and magnetic field?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

Hint: you have to consider the relationship between the electric field and magnetic field of a plane electromagnetic wave.

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

delve into the Maxwell/ Heaviside equations....

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

you will be amazed

Could you explain me @Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

the electric and magnetic field of a plane electromagnetic wave can be represented as below: |dw:1438869598405:dw|

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

the magnetic and electric field can be represented by these vectors: \[\Large \begin{gathered} {\mathbf{E}} = {{\mathbf{E}}_0}{e^{i\left( {{\mathbf{k}} \cdot {\mathbf{r}} - \omega t} \right)}} \hfill \\ \hfill \\ {\mathbf{B}} = {{\mathbf{B}}_0}{e^{i\left( {{\mathbf{k}} \cdot {\mathbf{r}} - \omega t} \right)}} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \] using the Maxwell equation, we can show this: \[\Large {\mathbf{E}} = \frac{{{\mathbf{k}} \times {\mathbf{B}}}}{\omega }\] being \[\Large {\mathbf{k}}\] the wave vector, whose modulus, is: \[\Large \left| {\mathbf{k}} \right| = \frac{\omega }{c}\]
