For electromagnetic waves,the electric field and the magnetic field are .......

$A$ plane electromagnetic wave is incident on a plane surface of area $A$ normally,and is perfectly reflected. If energy $E$ strikes the surface in time $t$,then the average pressure exerted on the surface is ($c=$ speed of light).

The electric fields of two plane electromagnetic waves in vacuum are given by $\overrightarrow{E}_{1}=E_{0} \hat{j} \cos (\omega t-kx)$ and $\overrightarrow{E}_{2}=E_{0} \hat{k} \cos (\omega t-ky)$. At $t=0$,a particle of charge $q$ is at the origin with a velocity $\overrightarrow{v}=0.8 c \hat{j}$ ($c$ is the speed of light in vacuum). The instantaneous force experienced by the particle is:

$A$ light beam is described by $E = 800 \sin \omega (t - x/c)$. An electron is allowed to move normal to the propagation of the light beam with a speed of $3 \times 10^{7} \text{ m/s}$. What is the maximum magnetic force exerted on the electron?

An electromagnetic wave is propagating in vacuum along $-\hat{j}$ direction. The magnetic field of the wave is given by $\vec{B} = (2 \times 10^{-8}) \cos [\pi \times 10^{15}(t + \frac{y}{c})] \hat{k} \text{ T}$. The electric field $\vec{E}$ of this wave is $(c = \text{speed of light})$
