A plane wave with $$\overrightarrow E = 10\,{e^{j\left( {\omega t - \beta z} \right)\,}}\,\,{\overrightarrow a _{_y}}$$ is incident normally on a thick plane conductor lying in the $$X - Y$$ plane. Its conductivity is $$6 \times {10^6}\,\,\,S/m\,\,\,$$ and surface impedance is $$5 \times {0^{ - 4}}\,\angle {45^0}\Omega $$. Determine the propagation constant and the skin depth in the conductor.

A uniform plane wave is normally incident from air on an infinitely thick magnetic material with relative permeability 100 and relative permittivity 4 (sec in Fig.). The wave has an electric field of 1 V/meter (rms). Find the average Poynting vector inside the material.

A uniform plane wave having parallel polarization is obliquely incident on an air - dielectric interface as shown in Fig. If the wave has an electric field $$E = 10\,\,V/m$$, find
(i) The angle of incidence $${\theta _i}$$ for which there is no reflection of the wave.
(ii) The surface charge density at the interface.

A wave traveling in the $$+Z$$-direction, is the resultant of two linearly polarized components, $${E_x}\,\,\, = \,\,\,\,\,\,3$$ $$\,\,\,\,\cos \omega t$$ and $$\,{E_y}\,\,\,\, = \,\,\,2\,\cos \,\left( {\omega t + {{45}^ \circ }} \right)$$

Determine
(1) The axial ratio
(2) The angle between the major axis of the polarization ellipse and the $$+x$$-axis.
