An electromagnetic wave travels in free space along the -direction. At a particular point in space and time, T is associated with this wave. The value of corresponding electric field at this point is _______ V/m.
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
The direction of propagation of an electromagnetic wave is given by the direction of .
Given that the wave travels along the -direction, the direction of propagation is .
The magnetic field is given as T, so its direction is .
Let the direction of the electric field be . We must have:
Since , the direction of the electric field is .
The magnitude of the electric field is related to the magnetic field by , where m/s is the speed of light in free space.
V/m
Therefore, the electric field vector is V/m.
