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

For a plane electromagnetic wave, the magnetic field at a point \(x\) and time \(t\) is \(\overrightarrow{ B }( x , t )=\left[1.2 \times 10^{-7} \sin \left(0.5 \times 10^{3} x +1.5 \times 10^{11} t \right) \hat{ k }\right] T\) The instantaneous electric field \(\overrightarrow{ E }\) corresponding to \(\overrightarrow{ B }\) is : (speed of light \(\left.c=3 \times 10^{8} ms ^{-1}\right)\)

  1. A \(\overrightarrow{ E }( x , t )=\left[36 \sin \left(0.5 \times 10^{3} x +1.5 \times 10^{11} t \right) \hat{ k }\right] \frac{ v }{ m }\)
  2. B \(\overrightarrow{ E }( x , t )=\left[-36 \sin \left(0.5 \times 10^{3} x +1.5 \times 10^{11} t \right) \hat{ j }\right] \frac{ v }{ m }\)
  3. C \(\overrightarrow{ E }( x , t )=\left[-36 \sin \left(1 \times 10^{3} x +1.5 \times 10^{11} t \right) \hat{ j }\right] \frac{ v }{ m }\)
  4. D \(\overrightarrow{ E }( x , t )=\left[36 \sin \left(1 \times 10^{3} x +1.5 \times 10^{11} t \right) \hat{ j }\right] \frac{ v }{ m }\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\overrightarrow{ E }( x , t )=\left[-36 \sin \left(0.5 \times 10^{3} x +1.5 \times 10^{11} t \right) \hat{ j }\right] \frac{ v }{ m }\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\overrightarrow{ E }\) and \(\overrightarrow{ B }\) are perpendicular for \(EM\) wave \(E _{0}= CB _{0}\) \(=3 \times 10^{8} \times 1.2 \times 10^{-7}\) \(=36\) Having same phase Propagation is along \(-x-\)axis, \(\overrightarrow{ B }\) is along \(z-\)axis hence…
