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 \(\left.c=3 \times 10^{8} ms ^{-1}\right)\)

Pick an option to check your answer.

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 \(\overrightarrow{ E }\) must be along \(y-\)axis.
