NEET2010PhysicsElectromagnetic WavesActual
The electric field of an electromagnetic wave in free space is given by E =10 (10^7 t+k x ) j V / m , where t and x are in seconds and metres respectively. It can be inferred that (1) The wavelength is 188.4 ~m . (2) The wave number k is 0.33 rad / m . (3) The wave amplitude is 10 ~V / m . (4) The wave is propagating along.t x direction Which one of the following pairs of statements is correct?
Options
- A(3) and (4)
- B(1) and (2)
- C(2) and (3)
- D(1) and (3)
Correct answer
D. (1) and (3)
Step-by-step solution
The electric field of electromagnetic wave aligned & E =10 (10^7 t kx ) j & Amplitude =10 ~V / m & c = k & 3 10^8= 10^7 k & or k= 1 30 & or 2 = 1 30 & or =188.4 ~m & aligned So, (1) and (3) option are correct.
