In a plane electromagnetic wave,the electric field oscillates with a frequency $2 \times 10^{10} \,s^{-1}$ and amplitude $40 \,Vm^{-1}$. The energy density due to the electric field is (given $\varepsilon_0 = 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \,Fm^{-1}$):

$A$ carbon dioxide laser emits a sinusoidal electromagnetic wave that travels in a vacuum in the negative $x-$ direction. The wavelength is $10.6\,\mu m$ and the $\vec E$ field is parallel to the $z-$ axis,with $E_{max} = 1.5 \times 10^6\, V/m$. Then the vector equations for $\vec E$ and $\vec B$ as a function of time and position are:
