(a) The energy density of an electromagnetic plane wave in a conductive medium isu=k222E02e2kz .

(b) It is proved that the intensity is (k2)E02e-2xz.

Step by step solution

01

Expression for the energy density of an electromagnetic plane wave:

Write the expression for the energy density of an electromagnetic plane wave.

u=12(E2+1B2) 鈥︹ (1)

Here, is the permittivity of free space, E is the electric field, Is the permeability of free space, and B is the magnetic field.

02

Determine the energy density of an electromagnetic plane wave in a conductive medium:

(a)

Write the expression for the electric field.

E~(z,t)=E0ekzcos(kzt+E)x^

Squaring on both sides.

E2=E02e2kzcos2(kzt+E)

Write the expression for the magnetic field.

B~(z,t)=B0ekzcos(kzt+E+)y^

Squaring on both sides.

B2=B02e2kzcos2(kzt+E+)

SubstituteE2=E02e2kzcos2(kzt+E) andB2=B02e2kzcos2(kzt+E+) in equation (1).

u=12(E02e2kzcos2(kzt+E)+1B02e2kzcos2(kzt+E+))u=12e2kz[E02cos2(kzt+E)+B02cos2(kzt+E+)]u=12e2kz[2E02+12B02]

Using the relation between B0andE0 , it is known that:

B0=E01+()2

Calculate the energy density of an electromagnetic plane wave in a conductive medium.

u=12e2kz[2E02+12(E01+()2)2]u=14e2kzE022k22u=k222E02e2kz

03

Show that the magnetic contribution always dominates:

Write the expression for the magnetic energy.

umag=(B022)12e2kz

Write the expression for the density electrostatic energy density.

uelec=12e2kz2E02

Take the ratio of magnetic energy density and electrostatic energy density.

umaguelec=(B022)12e2kz12e2kz2E02umaguelec=(B02)E02umaguelec=11+()2

On further solving,

umaguelec=1+()2>1umag>uelec

Hence, the magnetic contribution is always the dominator.

Therefore, the energy density of an electromagnetic plane wave in a conductive medium isu=k222E02e2kz .

04

Show that the intensity is (k2μω)E02e-2xz(k2μω)E02e-2xz:

(b)

Write the expression for intensity.

I=cu

Substituteu=k222E02e2kz and c=kin the above expression.

I=k222E02e2kzkI=(k)k222E02e2kzI=k2E02e2kz

Therefore, it is proved that I=k2E02e2kz.
