A plane electromagnetic wave of frequency 25 GHz is propagating in vacuum along the z-direction. At a particular point in space and time, the magnetic field is given by a value \(5 \times 10^{-8} \text{ T}\) along Y-direction. The corresponding electric field is (speed of light \(c = 3 \times 10^8 \text{ m/s}\))

  1. A \(15 V/m, along +X axis\)
  2. B \(15 V/m, along -X axis\)
  3. C \(1.66 V/m, along +X axis\)
  4. D \(1.66 V/m, along -X axis\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(15 V/m, along +X axis\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(E = cB\) \(E = (3 \times 10^8 \text{ m/s})(5 \times 10^{-8} \text{ T})\) \(E = 15 \text{ V/m}\) Propagation along +z, \(\vec{B}\) along +y \(\implies\) \(\vec{E}\) along +x. Electric field is \(15 \text{ V/m, along +X axis}\).
