JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 8. Electromagnetic waves

A plane electromagnetic wave of frequency 20 MHz travels in free space along the \(+x\) direction. At a particular point in space and time, the electric field vector of the wave is \(\mathrm{E}_y=9.3 \mathrm{Vm}^{-1}\). Then, the magnetic field vector of the wave at that point is:

  1. A \(\mathrm{B}_z=6.2 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{~T}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{B}_z=3.1 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{~T}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{B}_z=1.55 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{~T}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{B}_z=9.3 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{~T}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{B}_z=3.1 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{~T}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{E}=\mathrm{BC} \\ & 9.3=\mathrm{B} \times 3 \times 10^8 \\ & \mathrm{~B}=\frac{9.3}{3 \times 10^8}=3.1 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{~T}\end{aligned}\)
