An EM wave propagating in x -direction has a wavelength of 8mm ....

An EM wave propagating in xx-direction has a wavelength of 8mm8mm. The electric field vibrating yy-direction has maximum magnitude of 60Vm−160{Vm}^{- 1}. Choose the correct equations for electric and magnetic fields if the EM wave is propagating in vacuum :

Options

  1. A

    {E}_{y} = 60\sin \left[\dfrac{\pi}{4} \times {10}^{3}\left(x - 3 \times {10}^{8}t\right)\right]\overset{^}{j}V{m}^{- 1}

    {B}_{z} = 2\sin \left[\dfrac{\pi}{4} \times {10}^{3}\left(x - 3 \times {10}^{8}t\right)\right]\overset{^}{k}T

  2. B

    {E}_{y} = 60\sin \left[\dfrac{\pi}{4} \times {10}^{3}\left(x - 3 \times {10}^{8}t\right)\right]\overset{^}{j}V{m}^{- 1}

    {B}_{z} = 2 \times {10}^{- 7}\sin \left[\dfrac{\pi}{4} \times {10}^{3}\left(x - 3 \times {10}^{8}t\right)\right]\overset{^}{k}T

  3. C

    {E}_{y} = 2 \times {10}^{- 7}\sin \left[\dfrac{\pi}{4} \times {10}^{3}\left(x - 3 \times {10}^{8}t\right)\right]\overset{^}{j}V{m}^{- 1}

    {B}_{z} = 60\sin \left[\dfrac{\pi}{4} \times {10}^{3}\left(x - 3 \times {10}^{8}t\right)\right]\overset{^}{k}T

  4. D

    {E}_{y} = 2 \times {10}^{- 7}\sin \left[\dfrac{\pi}{4} \times {10}^{4}\left(x - 4 \times {10}^{8}t\right)\right]\overset{^}{j}V{m}^{- 1}

    {B}_{z} = 60\sin \left[\dfrac{\pi}{4} \times {10}^{4}\left(x - 4 \times {10}^{8}t\right)\right]\overset{^}{k}T

Correct answer

B.

{E}_{y} = 60\sin \left[\dfrac{\pi}{4} \times {10}^{3}\left(x - 3 \times {10}^{8}t\right)\right]\overset{^}{j}V{m}^{- 1}

{B}_{z} = 2 \times {10}^{- 7}\sin \left[\dfrac{\pi}{4} \times {10}^{3}\left(x - 3 \times {10}^{8}t\right)\right]\overset{^}{k}T

Step-by-step solution

Using the relation E→=cB→\overset{\to}{E} = c\overset{\to}{B}, where, cc is speed of light in vacuum.

After analysing each option, we get option BB is the correct option

as E→B→=602×10−7=3×108ms−1\overset{\to}{E}\overset{\to}{B} = \dfrac{60}{2 \times {10}^{- 7}} = 3 \times {10}^{8}m{s}^{- 1}.
