A plane electromagnetic wave travels in free space along z- axis. At a particular point in space, the electric field along x-axis is 8.7 V m-1. The magnetic field along y- axis is

  1. A 2.9×10-8 T
  2. B 3×10-6 T
  3. C 8.7×10-6 T
  4. D 3×10-5 T
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 2.9×10-8 T

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We know that the ratio of the magnitudes of electric and magnetic fields equals the speed of light in free space i.e., c=E0B0. And in an electromagnetic wave, the electric field and magnetic field are perpendicular to one another. So, using the relation, the magnetic field along…
