Choose the incorrect statements from the following:
(A) The energy density of an electric field in electromagnetic waves is \( (\epsilon_0 E^2/2) \).
(B) The total energy of electromagnetic waves falling on a surface is \( E = 6.0 \times 10^5 \text{ J} \) and the momentum delivered to the surface, if absorbed fully, is \( p = 2 \times 10^3 \text{ kg m/s} \).
(C) The speed of the electromagnetic waves is \( E_0 / B_0 \).
(D) The energy density of magnetic field in electromagnetic Waves is \( (B^2 / \mu) \).
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A (A) and (B) only
  2. B (A) and (C) only
  3. C (B) and (D) only

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) (B) and (D) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Statement (A): Correct. Statement (B): \( p = E/c = (6.0 \times 10^5 \text{ J}) / (3 \times 10^8 \text{ m/s}) = 2.0 \times 10^{-3} \text{ kg m/s} \). Incorrect. Statement (C): Correct. Statement (D): Incorrect. (Energy density is \( B^2 / (2\mu_0) \)). Incorrect statements: (B)…
