The electric field of a plane electromagnetic wave in a medium is given by
\( E = 100 \sin(300z - 6 \times 10^{10}t) \text{ V/m} \).
The velocity of the electromagnetic wave in this medium will be:

  1. A 0.5 c
  2. B 0.67 c
  3. C c
  4. D 1.5 c
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 0.67 c

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( v = \frac{\omega}{k} \) \( v = \frac{6 \times 10^{10}}{300} \) \( v = 2 \times 10^8 \text{ m/s} \) \( v = \frac{2 \times 10^8}{3 \times 10^8} c \) \( v = 0.67 c \)
