Homework Statement


Prove that the relationship between the dimensionless amplitude a of a wave and the intensity I of the wave is given by:

Homework Equations


B = curl (A)
B: Magnetic Field
A = [mass of electron * c / e ]*a*e^[i*(kx-wt)]
where k is the wavenumber and is given by: 2pi / wavelength of laser
I = c*B^2 / (magnetic permeability of free space)
Hint: div(A) = 0 will give a unique solution for B

The Attempt at a Solution


Honestly I do not know where to begin. Take the divergence of the equation of A and find a solution for B? I am not sure.

Thread 'Direction of the magnetic field of an oscillating charge'

Hello everyone, I’m considering a point charge q that oscillates harmonically about the origin along the z-axis, e.g. $$z_{q}(t)= A\sin(wt)$$ In a strongly simplified / quasi-instantaneous approximation I ignore retardation and take the electric field at the position ##r=(x,y,z)## simply to be the “Coulomb field at the charge’s instantaneous position”: $$E(r,t)=\frac{q}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}}\frac{r-r_{q}(t)}{||r-r_{q}(t)||^{3}}$$ with $$r_{q}(t)=(0,0,z_{q}(t))$$ (I’m aware this isn’t...

Thread 'Initial conditions for orbits around a wormhole'

Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
