Chapter 05 Propagation of Uniform Plane Waves in Unbounded Space

Exercise Answers

5.1

In free space, given the electric field E(z,t)=ey103sin(ωtβz) V/m, find the magnetic field strength H(z,t).

Solution:

Taking the cosine as the basis, rewrite the known electric field expression:

E(z,t)=ey103cos(ωtβzπ2) V/m

This is an electromagnetic wave propagating uniformly in the +z direction, with an initial phase of 90.

The accompanying magnetic field is:

H(z,t)=1η0ez×E(z,t)=1η0ez×ey103cos(ωtβzπ2)=ex103120πcos(ωtβzπ2)=ex265sin(ωtβz) A/m

5.2

In an ideal medium (parameters μ=μ0, ε=εrε0, σ=0) there is a uniform plane wave propagating along the x direction, and its electric field instantaneous value expression is known as

E(x,t)=ey 377cos(109t5x) V/m

Find:

(1) The relative permittivity of this ideal medium;

(2) The magnetic field H(x,t) accompanying E(x,t);

(3) The average power density of this plane wave.

Notice

The first question is too complex to solve those partial differential equations directly. You need to remember the relationship between the propagation speed of electromagnetic waves and the relative dielectric constant (see Example 5.1.2 for details).

Solution:

(1)

Observing the given electric field expression, it represents a uniform plane wave propagating along the +x direction, with a phase velocity of

vp=ωk=1095 m/s=2×108 m/s

Also,

vp=1με=1μ0εrε0=1εr1μ0ε0=1εr×3×108

Therefore,

εr=(32)2=2.25

(2)

It can also be directly obtained from the relationship H=1ηen×E to get H

H=1ηex×ey377ej5x=ezεrη0×377ej5x=ez1.5ej5x A/m

(3)

The average Poynting vector is

Sav=12Re[E×H]=12Re[ey377ej5x×ez1.5ej5x]=ex282.75 W/m2

5.3

In air, a uniform plane wave propagates along the ey direction with a frequency f=400 MHz. When y=0.5 m, t=0.2 ns, the maximum value of the electric field strength E is 250 V/m, and the unit vector indicating its direction is ex0.6ez0.8. Find the instantaneous expressions for the electric field E and the magnetic field H.(Same as Example 5.1.1)

Solution:

The general expression for the electric field strength of a uniform plane wave propagating along the ey direction is

E(y,t)=Emcos(ωtky+ϕ)

According to the conditions given in this problem, the parameters in the formula are

ω=2πf=8π×108 rad/sk=ωμ0ε0=ωc=8π×1083×108 rad/s=8π3 rad/mEm=250(ex0.6ez0.8) V/m

Since y=0.5 m, t=0.2 ns, E reaches its maximum value, that is

Emcos(8π×108×0.2×1098π3×12+ϕ)=Em

Thus it is obtained that

ϕ=4π34π25=88π75

Therefore

E=(ex150ez200)cos(8π×108t8π3y+88π75) V/mH=1η0ey×E=(ex53π+ez54π)cos(8π×108t8π3y+88π75) A/m
