Find all elements of the Maxwell stress tensor for a monochromatic plane wave traveling...

Find all elements of the Maxwell stress tensor for a monochromatic plane wave traveling in the z direction and linearly polarized in the x direction (Eq. 9.48). Does your answer make sense? (Remember that represents the momentum flux density.) How is the momentum flux density related to the energy density, in this case?

Reference equation 9.48
