consider a plane wave expressed mathematically as E = ae^i(b(x,y,z)+c(t))d_hat, where a is a constant, b is a linear function of space, c is a linear function of time, and d_hat is a unit vector.
1. Consider a plane wave expressed mathematically as E = aei(b(z, y, z)+c(ma, where a is a constant, b is a linear function of space, c is a linear function of time, and 2 is a unit vector. State whether a, b, c, and/or d encode information about each of the following quantities: Wavelength Frequency Period Wave number/vector Propagation direction Propagation speed Amplitude Polarization Solution
Wavelength - c
Frequency - c
Period - c
Wave number - b
Propagation direction - d
Propagation speed - b
Amplitude - a
Polarization - b
