COMEDK · Physics · 24. Electromagnetic Waves

In a plane electromagnetic wave, the electric field oscillates sinusoidally at a frequency of \(2 \times 10^{10} \mathrm{~Hz}\) and amplitude \(48 \mathrm{~V} / \mathrm{m}\). The wavelength of the wave is

  1. A \(24 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~m}\)
  2. B \(1.5 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~m}\)
  3. C \(4.16 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~m}\)
  4. D \(3 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~m}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(1.5 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~m}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Here, speed of electromagnetic wave in vacuum/air, \(c=3 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) Frequency, \(f=2 \times 10^{10} \mathrm{~Hz}\) As we know, wavelength,…
