Homework Statement
Show that in vacuum the magnitude of the momentum density
vector of a plane electromagnetic wave is equal to the energy density
divided by the speed of light, c.
Homework Equations
\vec{S} = \vec{E}x\vec{H}
The Attempt at a Solution
This doesn't seem too hard if you know what a momentum density vector is, so if this should be in the introductory section I apologize but it is a homework question from an upper division course.
The only thing I'm really looking for is how to find/ what is a momentum density vector. I have no idea how to go about finding it.
