JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 8. Electromagnetic waves
Electric field of plane electromagnetic wave propagating through a non-magnetic medium is given by \({E}=20 \cos \left(2 \times 10^{10} {t}-200 {x}\right) \,{V} / {m} .\) The dielectric constant of the medium is equal to : (Take \(\mu_{{r}}=1\) )
- A \(9\)
- B \(2\)
- C \(\frac{1}{3}\)
- D \(3\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(9\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Speed of wave \(=\frac{2 \times 10^{10}}{200}=10^{8}\, {m} / {s}\) Refractive index \(=\frac{3 \times 10^{8}}{10^{8}}=3\) Now refractive index \(=\sqrt{\varepsilon_{{r}} \mu_{{r}}}\) \(3=\sqrt{\varepsilon_{{r}}(1)}\) \(\Rightarrow \varepsilon_{{r}}=9\)

Across the river is a well lit tower of height \(40\, m\). When the person, who is at a height of \(10\, m\), looks through a polarizer at an appropriate angle at light of the tower reflecting from the river surface, he notes that intensity of light coming from distance \(X\) from his building is the least and this corresponds to the light coming from light bulbs at height \('Y'\) on the tower. The values of \(X\) and \(Y\) are respectively close to (refractive index of water \( \simeq \frac{4}{3})\)
