The electric field associated with an electromagnetic wave propagating in a dielectric medium is given by E→=30(2x∧+y∧)sin⁡[2π(5×1014t−1073z)]Vm−1\overset{\to}{E} = 30\left(2\overset{∧}{x} + \overset{∧}{y}\right)\sin \left[2\pi\left(5 \times {10}^{14}t - \dfrac{{10}^{7}}{3}z\right)\right]V{m}^{- 1}. Which of the following option(s) is(are) correct?

[Given: The speed of light in vacuum, c=3×108ms–1c = 3 \times {10}^{8}m{s}^{– 1}]

The electric field associated with an electromagnetic wave propagating in a dielectric medium is given by → E = 30(2 ∧

Options

  1. ABx=−2×10−7sin⁡[2π(5×104t−1073z)]Wbm−2{B}_{x} = - 2 \times {10}^{- 7}\sin \left[2\pi\left(5 \times {10}^{4}t - \dfrac{{10}^{7}}{3}z\right)\right]Wb{m}^{- 2}
  2. BBy=2×10−7sin⁡[2π(5×1014t−1073z)]Wbm−2{B}_{y} = 2 \times {10}^{- 7}\sin \left[2\pi\left(5 \times {10}^{14}t - \dfrac{{10}^{7}}{3}z\right)\right]Wb{m}^{- 2}
  3. CThe wave is polarized in the xyxy-plane with polarization angle 30o{30}^{o} with respect to the xx-axis
  4. DThe refractive index of the medium is 22

Correct answer

A. Bx=−2×10−7sin⁡[2π(5×104t−1073z)]Wbm−2{B}_{x} = - 2 \times {10}^{- 7}\sin \left[2\pi\left(5 \times {10}^{4}t - \dfrac{{10}^{7}}{3}z\right)\right]Wb{m}^{- 2}

Step-by-step solution

Speed of light in medium is v=ωkv = \dfrac{\omega}{k}

⇒v=2π(5×1014)2π×1073⇒ v = \dfrac{2\pi\left(5 \times {10}^{14}\right)}{2\pi \times \dfrac{{10}^{7}}{3}}

⇒v=1.5×108ms−1⇒ v = 1 . 5 \times {10}^{8}m{s}^{- 1}

Therefore, refractive index μ=cv=3×1081.5×108=2\mu = \dfrac{c}{v} = \dfrac{3 \times {10}^{8}}{1 . 5 \times {10}^{8}} = 2

⇒μ=2⇒ \mu = 2

Given E→=30(2x∧+y∧)sin⁡(2π(5×1014t−1073z))Vm−1\overset{\to}{E} = 30\left(2\overset{∧}{x} + \overset{∧}{y}\right)\sin \left(2\pi\left(5 \times {10}^{14}t - \dfrac{{10}^{7}}{3}z\right)\right)V{m}^{- 1}

The electric field associated with an electromagnetic wave propagating in a dielectric medium is given by → E = 30(2 ∧

The wave is polarised in xy−xy -plane with polarisation angle tan⁡−1(12)\tan^{- 1}\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right) with respect to x−x -axis.

Amplitude of magnetic field, B0=E0V=3022+121.5×108=3051.5×108{B}_{0} = \dfrac{{E}_{0}}{V} = \dfrac{30\sqrt{{2}^{2} + {1}^{2}}}{1 . 5 \times {10}^{8}} = \dfrac{30\sqrt{5}}{1 . 5 \times {10}^{8}}

Now, direction of B→\overset{\to}{B} is \left(\overset{\to}{v} \times \overset{\to}{E}\right)</p><p></p><p>= \overset{∧}{k} \times \dfrac{\left(2\overset{∧}{i} + \overset{∧}{j}\right)}{\sqrt{5}}</p><p></p><p>= \left(\dfrac{- \overset{∧}{i} + 2\overset{∧}{j}}{\sqrt{5}}\right).</p><p>.</p><p>\overset{\to}{B} = \left(\dfrac{- \overset{∧}{i} + 2\overset{∧}{j}}{\sqrt{5}}\right) \times \dfrac{30\sqrt{5}}{1 . 5 \times {10}^{8}}\sin \left[2\pi\left(5 \times {10}^{14}t - \dfrac{{10}^{7}}{3}z\right)\right]Wb{m}^{- 2} = \left(- \overset{∧}{i} + 2\overset{∧}{j}\right) \times 2 \times {10}^{- 7}\sin \left[2\pi\left(5 \times {10}^{14}t - \dfrac{{10}^{7}}{3}z\right)\right]Wb{m}^{- 2}</p><p>Hence,</p><p></p><p>Hence,</p><p>{B}_{x} = - 2 \times {10}^{- 7}\sin \left[2\pi\left(5 \times {10}^{14}t - \dfrac{{10}^{7}}{3}z\right)\right]Wb{m}^{- 2}</p><p>and</p><p>and{B}_{y} = 4 \times {10}^{- 7}\sin \left[2\pi\left(5 \times {10}^{14}t - \dfrac{{10}^{7}}{3}z\right)\right]Wb{m}^{- 2}
