Electromagnetic “Discontinuities” Must Propagate at a speed
Our wavefront satisfies both “Gauss’s laws” because there is no enclosed charge or current, and fields on opposite sides of the box are the same.
There is a changing B flux as the wavefront moves by. This changing flux must be equal to the line integral of the E field. Only the back edge (gh) contributes to this line integral.
There is a changing E flux also. This gives another reqd relation between E and B.
Which could be EM waveforms? I II III A] I only B] I & II only C] all of them D] none of them
What direction are these EM waves moving? I II III A] +z B] -z C] along z, but cannot determine + or - D] Cannot tell at all
