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

Due to presence of an em-wave whose electric component is given by \(\mathrm{E}=100 \sin (\omega \mathrm{t}-\mathrm{kx}) \mathrm{NC}^{-1}\), a cylinder of length 200 cm holds certain amount of em-energy inside it. If another cylinder of same length but half diameter than previous one holds same amount of em-energy, the magnitude of the electric field of the corresponding em-wave should be modified as

  1. A \(400 \sin (\omega \mathrm{t}-\mathrm{kx}) \mathrm{NC}^{-1}\)
  2. B \(200 \sin (\omega t-k x) \mathrm{NC}^{-1}\)
  3. C \(50 \sin (\omega \mathrm{t}-\mathrm{kx}) \mathrm{NC}^{-1}\)
  4. D \(25 \sin (\omega \mathrm{t}-\mathrm{kx}) \mathrm{NC}^{-1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(200 \sin (\omega t-k x) \mathrm{NC}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Energy density of an \(E M_{\text {wave }}=\frac{1}{2} \varepsilon E_0^2\), whare \(E_0\) is the amplitude of the wave. Since total energy is same for both cylinders…
