The amplitude of magnetic field in an electromagnetic wave...

The amplitude of magnetic field in an electromagnetic wave propagating along yy-axis is 6.0×10–7T6 . 0 \times {10}^{– 7}T. The maximum value of electric field in the electromagnetic wave is

Options

  1. A2×1015Vm–12 \times {10}^{15}V{m}^{– 1}
  2. B180Vm–1180V{m}^{– 1}
  3. C6.0×10–7Vm–16 . 0 \times {10}^{– 7}V{m}^{– 1}
  4. D5×1014Vm–15 \times {10}^{14}V{m}^{– 1}

Correct answer

B. 180Vm–1180V{m}^{– 1}

Step-by-step solution

The relation between the electric field and magnetic field is given by

E0=cB0{E}_{0} = c{B}_{0}.

The given data is

B0=6×10−7T{B}_{0} = 6 \times {10}^{- 7}T

c=3×108ms−1c = 3 \times {10}^{8}m{s}^{- 1}

Thus, the maximum value of the electric field is

E0=(3×108)×(6×10–7)=180Vm−1{E}_{0} = \left(3 \times {10}^{8}\right) \times \left(6 \times {10}^{– 7}\right) = 180V{m}^{- 1}.
