A sinusoidal plane wave is one special solution of these equations. (11 words)
Observe that the first term equals the real form of the plane wave just discussed. (15 words)
Even in free space, longitudinal field components can be generated in focal regions, where the plane wave approximation breaks down. (20 words)
This directly follows from the above expression for the average Poynting vector using phasor quantities, and the fact that in a plane wave the magnetic field is equal to the electric field divided by η (and thus exactly in phase). (40 words)
If a plane wave, confined to the xz plane, is incident on a dielectric with an angle and wavevector then a transmitted ray will be created with a corresponding angle of transmittance as shown in the figure above. (38 words)

Example sentences (15)
It is not possible in practice to have a true plane wave; only a plane wave of infinite extent will propagate as a plane wave.
Between two plane waves Geometrical arrangement for two plane wave interference Interference fringes in overlapping plane waves A simple form of interference pattern is obtained if two plane waves of the same frequency intersect at an angle.
Explicitly: : Linearity The simplest wavefunction is a plane wave of the form: : where the A is the amplitude, k the wavevector, and ω the angular frequency, of the plane wave.
History Diffraction of a plane wave at a slit whose width is several times the wavelength Diffraction of a plane wave when the slit width equals the wavelength In 1678, Huygens Chr.
If a plane wave, confined to the xz plane, is incident on a dielectric with an angle and wavevector then a transmitted ray will be created with a corresponding angle of transmittance as shown in the figure above.
A homogeneous and harmonic plane wave is a constant-frequency wave whose wavefronts (surfaces of constant phase ) are infinite parallel planes of constant peak-to-peak amplitude normal to the phase velocity vector.
As t increases the wave travels to the right and the value at a given point x oscillates sinusoidally Animation of a 3D plane wave.
Refraction main Sinusoidal traveling plane wave entering a region of lower wave velocity at an angle, illustrating the decrease in wavelength and change of direction (refraction) that results.
A sinusoidal plane wave is one special solution of these equations.
Even if the state of motion of the crystal could be described with a plane wave at a particular time, its accuracy would deteriorate progressively with time.

The electric field vector of a plane wave may be arbitrarily divided into two perpendicular components labeled x and y (with z indicating the direction of travel).
The equation below, which is illustrated toward the right, uses the cosine function to represent a harmonic and homogeneous plane wave travelling in the positive x direction.
This directly follows from the above expression for the average Poynting vector using phasor quantities, and the fact that in a plane wave the magnetic field is equal to the electric field divided by η (and thus exactly in phase).
