Electromagnetic Waves
  1. An uniform palne wave, polarized along x is travelling along z direction in a non magnetic mediu, having dielectric constant 3 and loss tangent 0.01. If the frequency of operation is 1.5GHz, determine the distance over which the amplitude of the propagating wave will be reduced to 1/2 of its origianl value.

Solution : The equation of the wave is given by

At z=0 amplitude is E0

At the amplitude is
