Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{B}_z=2 \times 10^{-7} \sin \left[\frac{\pi}{2} \times 10^3\left(\mathrm{x}-3 \times 10^8 \mathrm{t}\right)\right] \hat{\mathrm{kT}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{E}=\mathrm{BC} \Rightarrow 60=\mathrm{B} \times 3 \times 10^8\)

\(\Rightarrow \mathrm{B}=2 \times 10^{-7}\)

\(\text { Also } \mathrm{C}=\mathrm{f} \lambda\)

\(\Rightarrow 3 \times 10^8=\mathrm{f} \times 4 \times 10^{-3}\)

\(\Rightarrow \mathrm{f}=\frac{3}{4} \times 10^{11}\)

\(\Rightarrow \omega=2 \pi \mathrm{f}=\frac{3}{4} \times 2 \pi \times 10^{11}\)

\(\Rightarrow \omega=\frac{\pi}{2} \times 10^3 \mathrm{C}\)

\(\Rightarrow \quad \text { Electric field } \Rightarrow \mathrm{y} \text { direction }\)

\(\text { Propagation } \Rightarrow \mathrm{x} \text { direction }\)

\(\text { Magnetic field } \Rightarrow z \text {-direction }\)
