For an electromagnetic wave propagating through vacuum, , and represent propagation vector, electric field and angular frequency, respectively. The magnetic field associated with this wave is represented by :
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
For an electromagnetic wave, the direction of wave propagation is along the direction of .
Since , , and form a mutually perpendicular right-handed system, the direction of the magnetic field is given by .
The magnitudes of the electric and magnetic fields are related by .
Using the relation for the speed of light , we get .
Combining the magnitude and direction gives:
Since and , this simplifies to:
