    What Determines the Poynting Vector in an Electromagnetic Wave?

    Here's the question: An electromagnetic wave is traveling through vacuum. Its electric field vector is given by E= E_0 sin(kx-wt)y_hat where "y hat" is the unit vector in the y direction. What is the Poynting vector S(x,t), that is, the power per unit area associated with the...
