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

An electromagnetic wave travels in free space along the \(x\)-direction. At a particular point in space and time, \(\vec{B} = 2 \times 10^{-7} \hat{j}\) T is associated with this wave. The value of corresponding electric field \(\vec{E}\) at this point is _______ V/m.

  1. A \(60 \hat{k}\)
  2. B \(-60 \hat{k}\)
  3. C \(30 \hat{k}\)
  4. D \(-600 \hat{k}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(-60 \hat{k}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The direction of propagation of an electromagnetic wave is given by the direction of \(\vec{E} \times \vec{B}\). Given that the wave travels along the \(x\)-direction, the direction of propagation is \(\hat{i}\). The magnetic field is given as…
