Problem

An electromagnetic wave is propagating through glass whose refractive index may be taken as n=1.5n = 1.5. The peak magnetic field amplitude in the wave is measured to be 4.0×10−7 T4.0\times10^{-7}\,\text{T}. (i) Calculate the speed of the wave in the glass. (ii) Determine the corresponding peak electric field amplitude. (iii) If the frequency of the wave is 5.0×1014 Hz5.0\times10^{14}\,\text{Hz}, compute its wavelength inside the glass.
