Statement

14.3.15. How many times will the amplitude of a plane electromagnetic wave change
when it passes into a coordinate system moving at a speed in the direction
of wave propagation?

Solution

To solve this problem we need to use the Lorentz transformation for fields, taking into account that the fields of the electromagnetic wave are
perpendicular to the velocity of the moving frame. Also, in each frame, the relation holds, where is the
velocity vector of the electromagnetic wave; in this case .


We have take into account
is antiparallel with . And using the relation between fields:

Thus, the amplitude becomes times smaller.

Answer

Thus, the amplitude becomes times smaller.
