An electric field in a vacuum is determined to be polarized in the +y-direction. It has a peak of 250 μV/m at z = 0, and the next peak is at z = 5 cm. Determine phase velocity, propagation constant, wavelength, period, frequency, and radial frequency for this wave and write a complete function for e(z,t).

Problem 1. In class we will consider the sum of the electric field of two plane waves, u:(z.t) and uz(z.t), both traveling in the positive z direction with slightly different frequencies and propagation constants and with equal amplitudes. The electric fields of both plane waves are oriented in the y direction, which means that they have the same "polarization". The time and space variation of the two electric fields are given by: u: (2.1) = cos(@t - kz) uz(2.1) = cos ([o + Ao]t - [k + Ak]2) We will show that the sum of these two waves produce an intensity envelope in time and space that modulates the carrier frequency of m + Ao/2. The velocity of the envelope is called the group velocity. Assume Ao is << than o. For this problem, consider the sum of two slightly different waves with similar electric fields: v.(z) = sin(ot - kz) vz(z1) = sin([o + Ao]t - [k + Ak]z) Derive analytically an expression for a) the group and b) the phase velocity for the sum of the two fields.
