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
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
velocity vector of the electromagnetic wave; in this case
We have take into account
is antiparallel with
Thus, the amplitude becomes

Answer
Thus, the amplitude becomes
