ookmB e expreion f plane Wave cquation? Question 4 (05 pts) Suppose we have an electromagnetic wave of this form E- Eofexp(ikz-iot) B-E exp(ik-io) where x and y are unit vectors in the x and y directions, and Eo is the amplitude of the electric field. electric field magnetic field propaga a) What type of wave is this: plane, spherical, or cylindrical? b) W hat polarization does this wave have, linear, circular, or elliptical? Write down the corresponding Jones vector? c) Suppose we send the wave through a polarizer that transmits linear polarization described by the following Jones vector: Write down the Jones matrix that describes this polarizer? d) The Jones vector in c) describes, as always, the direction of electric field if the transmitted wave. What is the direction of the magnetic field of the transmitted wave?

Explanation / Answer

1. As electric and magnetic components oscillate in a direction perpendicular to direction of propagation...this wave is transverse and wave has a points in a plane that have same phase,it is plane wave.

2. E and B field are rotating in a circle therefore this is circularly polarized.
