In the propagation of electromagnetic waves,the angle between the direction of propagation and the plane of polarisation is (in $^{\circ}$)

Due to the presence of an em-wave whose electric component is given by $E = 100 \sin(\omega t - kx) \ NC^{-1}$,a cylinder of length $200 \ cm$ holds a certain amount of em-energy inside it. If another cylinder of the same length but half the diameter of the previous one holds the same amount of em-energy,the magnitude of the electric field of the corresponding em-wave should be modified as:

The electric field part of an electromagnetic wave in a medium is represented by $E_x = 0$; $E_y = 2.5 \frac{N}{C} \cos \left[ (2\pi \times 10^6 \frac{rad}{s})t - (\pi \times 10^{-2} \frac{rad}{m})x \right]$; $E_z = 0$. The wave is:
