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

An electromagnetic wave of intensity \(50\,Wm^{-2}\) enters in a medium of refractive index \(’ n’\) without any loss . The ratio of the magnitudes of electric fields, and the ratio of the magnitudes of magnetic fields of the wave before and after entering into the medium are respectively. Given by

  1. A \(\left( {\frac{1}{{\sqrt n }},\frac{1}{{\sqrt n }}} \right)\)
  2. B \(\left( {\sqrt n ,\sqrt n } \right)\)
  3. C \(\left( {\frac{1}{{\sqrt n }},\sqrt n } \right)\)
  4. D \(\,\left( {\sqrt n ,\frac{1}{{\sqrt n }}} \right)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\,\left( {\sqrt n ,\frac{1}{{\sqrt n }}} \right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{E_{i}}{B_{i}}=C.........(1)\) \(\frac{E_{f}}{B_{f}}=\frac{c}{n}.........(2)\) \( \Rightarrow \frac{{{E_i}{B_f}}}{{{E_f}}} = \frac{1}{n}\) \( \Rightarrow \frac{{{E_i}}}{{{E_f}}} = \frac{1}{n}\frac{{{B_i}}}{{{B_f}}}\)…
