A linearly polarised electromagnetic wave in vacuum is E = 3 . 1\cos \left[\left(1 . 8\right)z - \left(5 . 4 \times {10}^{6}\right)t\right]\overset{^}{i}N{C}^{- 1} is incident normally on a perfectly reflecting wall at z=az = a. Choose the correct option.

Options

  1. AThe wavelength is 5.4m5 . 4m.
  2. BThe frequency of electromagnetic wave is 54×104Hz54 \times {10}^{4}Hz.
  3. CThe transmitted wave will be
    3 . 1\cos \left[\left(1 . 8\right)z - \left(5 . 4 \times {10}^{6}\right)t\right]\overset{^}{i}N / C.
  4. DThe reflected wave will be
    3 . 1\cos \left[\left(1 . 8\right)z + \left(5 . 4 \times {10}^{6}\right)t\right]\overset{^}{i}N{C}^{- 1}.

Correct answer

D. The reflected wave will be
3 . 1\cos \left[\left(1 . 8\right)z + \left(5 . 4 \times {10}^{6}\right)t\right]\overset{^}{i}N{C}^{- 1}.

Step-by-step solution

Reflected wave will have direction opposite to incident wave.
