The electric field component of a monochromatic radiation is given...

The electric field component of a monochromatic radiation is given by \overset{\to}{E} = 2{E}_{0}coskzcos\omegat\overset{^}{i}, Its magnetic field B→\overset{\to}{B} is then given by:

Options

  1. A\dfrac{2{E}_{0}}{c}sinkzsin\omegat\overset{^}{j}
  2. B\dfrac{2{E}_{0}}{c}coskzcos\omegat\overset{^}{j}
  3. C\dfrac{2{E}_{0}}{c}sinkzcos\omegat\overset{^}{j}
  4. D\dfrac{-2{E}_{0}}{c}sinkzsin\omegat\overset{^}{j}

Correct answer

A. \dfrac{2{E}_{0}}{c}sinkzsin\omegat\overset{^}{j}

Step-by-step solution

dEdz=−dBdt\dfrac{dE}{dz} = - \dfrac{dB}{dt}

dEdz=−2E0Ksinkzcos\omegat=−dBdt\dfrac{dE}{dz} = - 2{E}_{0}Ksin kzcos \omegat = - \dfrac{dB}{dt}

dB=+2E0KsinkzcosωtdtdB = + 2{E}_{0}Ksin kzcos \omega tdt

B=+2E0Ksinkz∫cosωtdtB = + 2{E}_{0}Ksin kz ∫ cos \omega tdt

=+2E0kωsinkzsin\omegat= + 2{E}_{0}\dfrac{k}{\omega}sin kzsin \omegat

E0B0=ωk=C\dfrac{{E}_{0}}{{B}_{0}} = \dfrac{\omega}{k} = C

B=2E0Csinkzsin\omegatB = \dfrac{2{E}_{0}}{C}sin kzsin \omegat

Propagation of EM radiation, Electric field oscillation and Magnetic field oscillation are perpendicular to each other.

Since propagation of EM radiation is x−x -axis and electric field oscillation is along z−z -axis, the Magnetic field oscillation is along y−y -axis.
