True or false for the following:
A) Light can be totally internally reflected when it
tries to go from a less dense material
(smaller n) into a more dense material (larger
n).
B) The frequency of the light also changes when
it travels between different mediums.
C) When a light wave travels from a more dense medium (like
water) into vacuum (complete lack of matter), the velocity of the
light decreases.

A sinusoidal plane electromagnetic wave having a frequency of
3.00 GHz travels in the positive x direction. If the amplitude of
the electric field is 300 V.m-1 and the speed of light in vacuum is
taken as 3.0 x 108 m.s-1, write down wave equation in terms of
E(x,t) and B(x,t), where x is in meters and t is in seconds for the
electric field and the magnetic field.
