Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B)  \(\overrightarrow{ E }=-9 \sin [200 \pi( y + ct )] \hat{ k }\, \;V / m\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\overrightarrow{ B }=3 \times 10^{-8} \sin [200 \pi( y + ct )] \hat{ i } T\)

\(E _{0}= CB _{0} \Rightarrow E _{0}=3 \times 10^{8} \times 3 \times 10^{-8}\)

\(=9 V / m\)

and direction of wave propagation is given as

\((\overrightarrow{ E } \times \overrightarrow{ B }) \| \overrightarrow{ C }\)

\(\hat{ B }=\hat{ i } \quad \& \quad \hat{ C }=-\hat{ j }\)

so \(\hat{ E }=-\hat{ k }\)

\(\therefore \overrightarrow{ E }= E _{0} \sin [200 \pi( y + ct )](-\hat{ k }) V / m\)
