AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Electromagnetic Waves

The magnitude of the electric field of a plane electromagnetic wave travelling in free space is \(E\). If \(\mu_0\) and \(\varepsilon_0\) are respectively permeability and permittivity of the free space, then the magnitude of magnetic field of the wave is

  1. A \(E \mu_0 \varepsilon_0\)
  2. B \(\frac{E}{\mu_0 \varepsilon_0}\)
  3. C \(E \sqrt{\mu_0 \varepsilon_0}\)
  4. D \(\frac{E}{\sqrt{\mu_0 \varepsilon_0}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(E \sqrt{\mu_0 \varepsilon_0}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(c = \frac{E}{B}\) \(c = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_0 \varepsilon_0}}\) \(\frac{E}{B} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_0 \varepsilon_0}}\) \(B = E \sqrt{\mu_0 \varepsilon_0}\)
