A plane electromagnetic wave is travelling along +y-axis. The value of electric field at a point is \( \vec{E} = 12.3 \hat{i} \frac{N}{C} \). The magnitude and direction of magnetic field \( \vec{B} \) at this point is:
- A \( 4.1 \times 10^{-8} \text{ T} \), along \( -z \) axis
- B \( 4.1 \times 10^{-8} \text{ T} \), along \( +z \) axis
- C \( 36.9 \times 10^8 \text{ T} \), along \( -z \) axis
- D 12.3 T, along \( +z \) axis
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \( 4.1 \times 10^{-8} \text{ T} \), along \( -z \) axis
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The magnitude is calculated using \(B=\frac{E}{c}=\frac{12.3}{3 \times 10^8}=4.1 \times 10^{-8} T\). Since the wave propagates along \(+y(\hat{j})\) and \(\vec{E}\) is along \(+x(\hat{i})\), the magnetic field must be along \(-z\) axis \((-\hat{k})\) because…

Organic compounds containing carbon -oxygen double bonds ( \(C = O\) ) are called carbonyl compounds. These are highly polar molecules. Hence, their boiling points are higher than hydrocarbons and ethers. Aldehydes can be prepared from dehydrogenation or oxidation of alcohols and by reduction of acylhalides. Ketones are prepared by oxidation of secondary alcohols or by hydration of alkynes etc. Aldehydes and ketones undergo nucleophilic addition reaction with the number of nucleophiles such as HCN , NaHSO3 ammonia derivatives. Carboxylic acids are prepared by the oxidation of primary alcohols, aldehydes and alkenes, by hydrolysis of nitriles. Carboxylic acids are more acidic than alcohols and phenols.
