b. Map it into MATLAB the electric and magnetic

visualize at least five wavelengths. The display in the
axis must vary between -1 and 1 in 0.2 mts steps.

animation of the movement of the normalized magnitude

them.

When we standardize the fields, we will observe

single vectors. In this case, the electric field and
magnetic field vectors are perpendicular as each
field has a variable. The single vector moves

III. CONCLUSION
• The electric and magnetic fields are all
perpendicular between each other (and
perpendicular to the propagation direction).

• The S power density is equal to the power

times unit area towards the propagation
direction. This is related to the electric and
magnetic fields.

• The electromagnetic waves transmit energy

even in void space. The electric and magnetic
fields are the ones that vibrate and tend to
propagate. This vibration can be caught and
absorb the energy.
