Question

The electric field and magnetic field components of an electromagnetic wave going through vacuum is described by

${E}_{x} = {E}_{0}\sin \left(kz - \omegat\right)$

${B}_{y} = {B}_{0}\sin \left(kz - \omegat\right)$

Then the correct relation between ${E}_{0}$ and ${B}_{0}$ is given by

Quantrex Academy · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. k E _ 0 = ω B _ 0

As we know, electric field and magnetic field are related as E _ 0 = c B _ 0 , where, c is speed of light in vacuum Alsoc = (ω)/(k) ⇒ E _ 0 = (ω)/(k) B _ 0 ⇒ E _ 0 k = ω B _ 0
