A plane electromagnetic wave of frequency 20 MHz propagates in free space along x -direction. At a particular space and time E → = 6 . 6 j ^ V m - 1 . What is B → at this point?
Options
- A2 . 2 × 10 - 8 k ^ T
- B- 2 . 2 × 10 - 8 i ^ T
- C- 2 . 2 × 10 - 8 k ^ T
- D2 . 2 × 10 - 8 i   ^ T
Correct answer
A. 2 . 2 × 10 - 8 k ^ T
Step-by-step solution
It is given that E → = 6 . 6 j ^ (   V   m - 1 ) . The relation between the electric, magnetic field and speed of light is E → × B → = c → . Clearly, B → = B 0 ( k ^ ) Using the relation, c B 0 = E ⇒ B 0 = E c = 6 . 6 3 × 10 8 = 2 . 2 × 10 - 8   T
