In a uniform plane wave in a lossless medium the electric and magnetic fields are

  • A.at an angle depending on the frequency
  • B.in phase with one another
  • C.in quadrature
  • D.in antiphase

Answer: B

The intrinsic impedance of a lossless medium is purely real, so the two fields rise and fall together. In a lossy medium the impedance acquires a phase angle and the magnetic field lags the electric, reaching forty-five degrees in a good conductor.
