A plane electromagnetic wave is moving in free space with velocity and its electric field is given as , where is the unit vector along -axis. The magnetic field vector of the wave is:
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
For an electromagnetic wave, the relationship between electric and magnetic field amplitudes is .
Here V/m and m/s.
So, T.
The electric field is along the direction.
Since the wave travels in the direction, the magnetic field direction is determined by pointing in the direction.
Using the right-hand rule: (positive direction), confirming the magnetic field is in the direction.
Therefore, T.
Here V/m and m/s.
So, T.
The electric field is along the direction.
Since the wave travels in the direction, the magnetic field direction is determined by pointing in the direction.
Using the right-hand rule: (positive direction), confirming the magnetic field is in the direction.
Therefore, T.
