Question
A plane electromagnetic wave with a single frequency moves in vacuum in the positive x direction. Its amplitude is uniform over the yz plane. the amplitude of its magnetic field. 

Answer

  1. same
Explanation:
The same amount of energy passes through equal areas parallel to the yz plane as the wave travels in the +x direction, so the amplitude and the intensity, which is proportional to the square of the amplitude, do not change.
