In an electromagnetic wave, the ratio of energy densities of electric and magnetic fields is :

  1. A 1 : 1
  2. B 1 : c
  3. C c : 1
  4. D \(1: c^2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 1 : 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Energy density of electric field \( u_e = \frac{1}{2} \epsilon_0 E^2 \) Energy density of magnetic field \( u_m = \frac{1}{2 \mu_0} B^2 \) In an EM wave, \( E = cB \) and \( c = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\epsilon_0 \mu_0}} \)…
