The discussion revolves around finding the frequency of an electromagnetic wave given its electric field component in vacuum. The original poster presents the equation for the electric field but seeks guidance on determining the angular frequency, ω, without additional information such as wavelength.
The discussion is active, with participants offering hints and prompting the original poster to think critically about the problem. There is a recognition of the need for more information, particularly regarding wavelength, to proceed further.
Participants note the absence of specific values in the problem statement, particularly the wavelength, which is crucial for finding frequency. There is also mention of the importance of adhering to forum guidelines and using a structured approach in the inquiry.

, see the guidelines ). One good habit in PF is that posters are required to use the template and they have to show an attempt at solution, make an effort, etc. You show recidive in violating both requirements ! Someone should have corrected you earlier. Welcome nevertheless.
I guess you still don't have the grasp of how to describe wave in a mathematical language. In case you are too lazy to search in your textbook, just search for "wave" in wikipedia, it has all you need to understand a wave as the basic starting point.xamy said:
