question 26

Multiple Choice

Poynting vector: A planar electromagnetic wave is propagating in the +x direction. At a certain point P and at a given instant, the electric field of the wave is given by = (0.082 V/m) . What is the Poynting vector at the point P at that instant? (c = 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s, μ₀ = 4π × 10-7 T ∙· m/A, ε₀ = 8.85 × 10^-12 C²/N ∙ m²)
