Homework Statement
2. Homework Equations [/B]
Given in the question.
The Attempt at a Solution
[/B]
For part a I obtained an expression for the the dipole moment:
##P(t)= P_0 cos(wt)##
And therefore, for part b, I obtained the expressions
##\frac{dP}{dt} = -wP_0 sin(wt)## and ##\frac{d^2P}{dt^2} = -w^2P_0 cos(wt)##.
Now when I make use of Eq. 1.39 to obtain ##E_\theta## for part c), I substitute in the above expression for ##\frac{d^2P}{dt^2}##, but end up with the cos term being ##cos(wt)## from ##\frac{d^2P}{dt^2}## as opposed to ##cos(kr-wt)## which is required. Not sure where I'm going wrong.
