Note: All problems must be attempted. You are not allowed to ask any academic questions from the
invigilator. There will be no extension in time.

Q. 1 (5 points) Write down the electric and magnetic fields of a plane wave that is moving in the direction from
the origin to the point (0, 0, 1). Choose and explicitly explain the polarization of the electric field.

Q. 2 The rate at which work is done on all the charges in a volume V is:
Z
dW ~ · J~ dτ .
= E
dt V

(a) (5 points) Use J~f instead of J~ and show that the Poynting vector becomes,

~=E
S ~ × H.
~

(b) (5 points) Show that rate of change of energy density in the fields is,

du ~ ~
~ · dD + H
=E ~ · dB .
dt dt dt
(c) (5 points) Show that for linear media, energy density can be written as,
1 ~ ~ ~ ~

u= E·D+B·H .

Q. 3 (5 points) The intensity of sunlight hitting the earth is about 1300 W m−2 . If sunlight strikes a perfect
absorber, what pressure does it exert? How about a perfect reflector? What fraction of atmospheric pressure
does this amount to?
