The electric field and magnetic field components of an electromagnetic wave going through vacuum is described by E x = E 0 sin k z - ω t B y = B 0 sin k z - ω t Then the correct relation between E 0 and B 0 is given by
Options
- AE 0 B 0 = ω k
- BE 0 = k B 0
- Ck E 0 = ω B 0
- Dω E 0 = k B 0
Correct answer
C. k E 0 = ω B 0
Step-by-step solution
As we know, electric field and magnetic field are related as E 0 = c B 0 , where, c is speed of light in vacuum Also   c = ω k ⇒ E 0 = ω k B 0 ⇒     E 0 k = ω B 0
