MCQ
A plane electromagnetic wave with a single frequency moves in vacuum in the positive x direction. Its amplitude is uniform over the yz plane its wavelength:
- AIncrease
- BDecrease
- CSame
- DNone
✓
Answer
- Same
Explanation:
The same amount of energy passes through equal areas parallel to the yz plane as the wave travels in the +x direction, so the amplitude and the intensity, which is proportional to the square of the amplitude, do not change.
