Let’s say z is the vertical direction (towards the sky), so the sky above us is the x-y plane. Let’s say the sun is in the x direction. Thus plane waves from the sun have k in the xˆ direction and are polarized in the y-z plane. Thus, the sky molecules can only get pushed in the y and z directions from sunlight.
A beam linearly polarized along the x-axis and traveling in the positive z-direction can be represented by: E(z,t)=E0xöcos(kz"!t) (4.3) where xö is the unit vector along the x-axis. Of course, the choice of coordinate system is completely arbitrary. If we have a second coordinate system rotated by an angle θ, about the z-
In mathematics and physics, the right-hand rule is a convention and a mnemonic, utilized to define the orientation of axes in three-dimensional space and to determine the direction of the cross product of two vectors, as well as to establish the direction of the force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field.
A three dimensional Cartesian coordinate system, with origin O and axis lines X, Y and Z, oriented as shown by the arrows. The tick marks on the axes are one length unit apart. The black dot shows the point with coordinates x = 2, y = 3, and z = 4, or (2, 3, 4).
That is why we call these waves transverse electromagnetic (TEM) waves. We consider the electric field of a monochromatic electromagnetic wave with frequency ω and electric field amplitude E0, which propagates in vacuum along the z-axis, and is polarized along the x-axis, (Fig. 2.1), i.e. | k k| = ez, and e( k)= e x. ThenweobtainfromEqs.(2. ...
The simplest representation of Maxwell’s equations is in differential form, which leads directly to waves; the alternate integral form is presented in Section 2.4.3. The differential form uses the vector del operator ∇: ∇ ≡ xˆ ∂ + ∂x yˆ ∂ ∂ ∂y. + zˆ ∂z.
The distance between successive wavefronts at 2π phase intervals is λo in the direction of propagation, and the distances separating these same wavefronts as measured along the x and z axes are equal or greater, as illustrated in Figure 9.2.1. For example: λ z = λo cos θ = 2π kz ≥ λo.
