Electromagnetic Waves

Question:

A plane electromagnetic wave of frequency 40 MHz travels in free space in the X-direction. At some point and at some instant, the electric field $\vec{E}$ has its maximum value of 750 N/C in Y-direction.

The angular frequency of e.m.f. wave will be:(in rad/s)

Options:

$8\pi \times 10^7$

$4\pi \times 10^6$

$4\pi \times 10^5$

$8\pi \times 10^4$

Correct Answer:

$8\pi \times 10^7$

Explanation:

$ \omega = 2\pi f = 2\pi \times 4\times 10^7 = 8\pi \times 10^7 rad/s$
