Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(-0.8 \sin ( kz -\omega t ) \hat{ a }_{ y }-1.2 \sin ( kz -\omega t ) \hat{ a }_{ x }\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\overrightarrow{ E }=301.6 \sin ( kz -\omega t )\left(-\hat{ a }_{ x }\right)+452.4 \sin ( kz -\omega t ) \hat{ a }_{ y }\)

\(\overrightarrow{ B }=\frac{301.6}{ C } \sin ( kz -\omega t )\left(-\hat{a}_{ y }\right)+\frac{452.4}{ C } \sin ( kz -\omega t )\left(-\hat{ a }_{ x }\right)\)

\(\overrightarrow{ H }=\frac{\overrightarrow{ B }}{\mu_{0}}=\frac{301.6}{\mu C } \sin ( kz -\omega t )\left(-\hat{ a }_{ y }\right)+\frac{452.4}{\mu C } \sin ( kz -\omega t )\left(-\hat{ a }_{ x }\right)\)

\(\overrightarrow{ H }=-0.8 \sin ( kz -\omega t ) \hat{ a }_{ y }-1.2 \sin ( kz -\omega t ) \hat{ a }_{ x }\)

For direction

\(\overrightarrow{ E } \times \overrightarrow{ B }\) is direction of \(\overrightarrow{ C }\)

For first part \(\hat{ E }=-\hat{ i }, \hat{ B }= ?\)

\(\hat{ E } \times \hat{ B }=\hat{ k } \Rightarrow \hat{ B }=-\hat{ j }\)

Similarly for second

\(\hat{ E }=\hat{ j }, \hat{ B }=?\)

\(\hat{ E } \times \hat{ B }=\hat{ k } \Rightarrow \hat{ B }=-\hat{ i }\)
