GATE EC 2021 Set 1 Q15 — Plane Waves and Properties

Explain with AI

Consider a rectangular coordinate system (x,y,z)(x,y,z) with unit vectors ax aya_{x}\:a_{y} and aza_{z}. A plane wave traveling in the region z≥0z\geq 0 with electric field vector E=10cos⁡(2×108t + βz)ayE=10\cos\left ( 2\times 10^{8}t\:+\:\beta z\right )a_{y} is incident normally on the plane at z=0z=0, where β\beta is the phase constant. The region z≥0z\geq 0 is in free space and the region z<0z<0 is filled with a lossless medium (permittivity ε = ε0\varepsilon \:=\:\varepsilon _{0}, permeability μ = 4μ0\mu \:=\:4\mu _{0}, where ε0 = 8.85×10−12 F/m\varepsilon _{0}\:=\:8.85\times 10^{-12}\:\text{F/m} and μ0 = 4π×10−7 H/m\mu _{0}\:=\:4\pi \times 10^{-7}\:\text{H/m}). The value of the reflection coefficient is
