PLANE WAVE, TRANSVERSE FIELD 



If a wave is propagated in either the x or y direction when the dc 

 field is in the z direction then the wave equation has two orthogonal 

 solutions representing linearly polarized waves. One of these is polarized 

 with the electric vector parallel to the applied dc field and the other has 

 the magnetic vector parallel to the applied dc field. When the magnetic
