COMEDK2023PhysicsElectromagnetic Waves
The ratio of amplitude of magnetic field to the amplitude of electric field of an electromagnetic wave propagating in vacuum is
Options
- Areciprocal of speed of light in vacuum
- Bthe speed of light in vacuum
- Cproportional to frequency of the electromagnetic wave
- Dinversely proportional to the frequency of the electromagnetic wave
Correct answer
A. reciprocal of speed of light in vacuum
Step-by-step solution
For an electromagnetic wave, Speed of electromagnetic wave, c= E₀ B₀ B₀ E₀ = 1 c = reciprocal of speed
