**Poynting vector** S = E×B/μ₀ gives energy flow (W/m²), magnitude S = E B/μ₀, average = E₀ B₀/(2μ₀) = intensity, direction of propagation, showing energy transport perpendicular to E and B. The speed in a medium is reduced due to the medium’s permittivity ( ε ) and permeability ( μ ), giving v = (1/√(μ ε)) , which is less than c because ε > ε₀ and μ > μ₀ . Using c = fλ, E₀/B₀ = c, I_d = ε₀ dΦ_E/dt, and spectrum classification λ = c/f, evaluation yields Medium’s electric properties, illustrating EM wave transverse nature and Maxwell's displacement current concept.
