Yellow light with wavelength 600 nm is travelling to the right (in the positive x direction) in
vacuum. The light is polarized along the +y direction. The light passes an observer X located on the x
axis.
(a) Draw a neat labeled movie mode vector picture of the wave at the location of AX.
(b) If the wave were to represent blue light instead of yellow light, how would your diagram in part a
change? Draw a new diagram to explain these changes. If there is no change, say so explicitly.

In class we will consider the sum of the electric field of two plane waves, u:(z.t) and uz(z.t), both traveling in the positive z direction with slightly different frequencies and propagation constants and with equal amplitudes. The electric fields of both plane waves are oriented in the y direction, which means that they have the same "polarization". The time and space variation of the two electric fields are given by: u: (2.1) = cos(@t - kz) uz(2.1) = cos ([o + Ao]t - [k + Ak]2) We will show that the sum of these two waves produce an intensity envelope in time and space that modulates the carrier frequency of m + Ao/2. The velocity of the envelope is called the group velocity. Assume Ao is << than o.
