A uniform plane wave traveling in free space along the +$$z$$ direction and having its electric field along the$$ x$$-direction, is normally incident on a thick brass sheet, infinite in extent (along the $$x$$-and $$y$$-directions). The electric field intensity of the wave is given by $$${E_x} = 1225\,\cos \,\left( {5.89 \times {{10}^{10}}t - \beta z} \right)\,\,\,\,V/m$$$.

Calculate the power per square metre that causes heating of the brass sheet, taking $${ \in _r} = 1,\,\,\,{\mu _r} = 1$$ and $$\sigma = 1.649 \times {10^7}\,\,\,\,\,$$ mhos/metre for brass.

A uniform plane electromagnetic wave traveling in free-space enters into a lossless medium at normal incidence. In the medium its velocity reduces by 50% and in free space sets up a standing wave having a reflection coefficient of - 0.125. Calculate the permeability and the permittivity of the medium.

A 300 MHz plane E.M. wave is propagating in free space. The wave is incident normally on an infinite copper slab. For the transmitted wave in the copper slab, calculate the following

(d) Phase velocity and
(e) Group velocity
