Practicing Success
The magnetic field amplitude of an electromagnetic wave is 2 × 10-7 T. Its electric field amplitude, if the wave is travelling in free space is: |
6 V/m 60 V/m 10/6 V/m None of these |
60 V/m |
Speed of light, c = $\frac{E_0}{B_0} \Rightarrow E_0=B_0 c$ Given, $B_0=2 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~T}, c=3 \times 10^8$ m/s ∴ $E_0=2 \times 10^{-7} \times 3 \times 10^8$ = 60 T m/s = 60 V/m |
