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

The energy of an electromagnetic wave contained in a small volume oscillates with

  1. A zero frequency
  2. B half the frequency of the wave
  3. C double the frequency of the wave
  4. D the frequency of the wave
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) double the frequency of the wave

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(E=E_0 \sin (\omega t-k x)\) Energy density \(\left(\frac{d u}{d v}\right)=\varepsilon_0 E_0^2 \sin ^2(\omega t-k x)\) \(\frac{\varepsilon_0 E _0^2}{2}[1-\cos (2 \omega t -2 kx )]\)
