  • MCQ

A plane electromagnetic wave of frequency \(500\, MHz\) is travelling in vacuum along \(y-\)direction. At a particular point in space and time, \(\overrightarrow{ B }=8.0 \times 10^{-8} \hat{ z } \;T\). The value of electric field at this point is (speed of light \(\left.=3 \times 10^{8}\, ms ^{-1}\right)\) \(\hat{ x }, \hat{ y }, \hat{ z }\) are unit vectors along \(x , y\) and \(z\) direction.

Pick an option to check your answer.

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(-24 \hat{ x }\, V / m\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f =5 \times 10^{8} Hz\)

EM wave is travelling towards \(+\hat{j}\)

\(\overrightarrow{ B }=8.0 \times 10^{-8} \hat{ z } T\)

\(\overrightarrow{ E }=\overrightarrow{ B } \times \overrightarrow{ C }=\left(8 \times 10^{-8} \hat{ z }\right) \times\left(3 \times 10^{8} \hat{ y }\right)\)

\(=-24 \hat{ x } V / m\)
