Let the electric field vector of a plane electromagnetic wave propagating in a homogenous medium be expressed as E=x̂Exe-j(ωt-βz), where the propagation constant β is a function of the angular frequency ω. Assume that β(ω) and Ex are known and are real. From the information available, which one of the following CANNOT be determined?
A
The type of polarization of the wave.
B
The group velocity of the wave.
C
The phase velocity of the wave.
D
The power flux through the z=0 plane.

Correct : d
