The ratio of the magnitudes of the electric field and \(10^8\) times the magnetic field of a plane electromagnetic wave is

  1. A \(1: 3\)
  2. B \(3: 1\)
  3. C \(1: 1\)
  4. D \(1: \sqrt{3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(3: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(E = cB\) Ratio \( = \frac{E}{10^8 B} = \frac{cB}{10^8 B} = \frac{c}{10^8}\) Ratio \( = \frac{3 \times 10^8 \text{ m/s}}{10^8} = 3\) Ratio \( = 3:1\)
