A standing electromagnetic wave with electric component E=E_(m) cos kx. Cosomegat is sustained along the x axis in vacuum. Find the magnetic component of the wave B(x,t). Draw the approximate distribution pattern of the wave's electric and magnetic components (E and B) at the moments t=0 and t=T//4, where Tis the oscillation period.

Solution :Here `oversetrarr(E) = oversetrarr(E_(m)) cos kx cos omegat`
From div `oversetrarr(E) = 0` we get `E_(mx) = 0` so `oversetrarr(E_(m))` is in the `y - z` PLANE.
Also
`(del oversetrarr(B))/(del t) =- oversetrarr(DELTA) xx oversetrarr(E) =- Delta cos kx xx oversetrarr(E_(m)) cos omega t`
`= oversetrarr(K) xx oversetrarr(E_(m)) sin kx cos omegat`
so `oversetrarr(B) = (oversetrarr(k)xxoversetrarr(E_(m))/(omega)) sin kx sin omegat = oversetrarr(E_(m) sin kx sin omegat`
Where `|oversetrarr(B_(m))| = (E_(m))/(C)` and`oversetrarr(B_(m)) _|_ oversetrarr(E_(m))` in the `y - z` plane.
At `t = 0, oversetrarr(B) = 0, E = E_(m) cos kx`
At `t = T//4 oversetrarr(E) = 0, B = B_(m) sin kx`
