Homework Statement
A plane wave of 1 MHz frequency in free space is incident normally on a copper
surface [[tex]\sigma[/tex]=5.8*10^7, [tex]\mu[/tex]r=1, and [tex]\epsilon[/tex]r=1]. If the magnetic field strength at the surface is 1 mA m-1, find the depth at
which it is 2.5% of this value. Calculate the value of electric field on the surface
of the copper. Make a comment on the total power propagated inside the copper.
The Attempt at a Solution
I am mostly concerned with how to find the depth at which the magnetic field is 2.5% of its original value. I simply don't have any resources on how to calculate this. Could anybody point me towards the correct equations? Thanks!
