The electric field of an electromagnetic wave travelling through a medium is given by
then the refractive index of the medium is .
(All given measurement are in SI units)
then the refractive index of the medium is .
(All given measurement are in SI units)
Options
- A1.5
- B1.2
- C1.7
- D2
Correct answer
A. 1.5
Step-by-step solution
The electric field is V/m.
This is in the standard form where angular frequency rad/s and wave number rad/m.
The speed of the wave in the medium is m/s.
The refractive index is defined as where m/s is the speed of light in vacuum.
Therefore,
This is in the standard form where angular frequency rad/s and wave number rad/m.
The speed of the wave in the medium is m/s.
The refractive index is defined as where m/s is the speed of light in vacuum.
Therefore,
