Electromagnetic Waves

Question:

The amplitude of the magnetic field of a harmonic electromagnetic wave in vacuum is $B_o= 610 nT$. The amplitude of the electric field of the wave is:

Options:

$5 × 10^{14} NC^{-1}$

$203 × 10^{-17} NC^{-1}$

$183 NC^{-1}$

$610 NC^{-1}$

Correct Answer:

$183 NC^{-1}$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → $183 NC^{-1}$

The relationship between the electric field $(E_o)$ and the magnetic field $B_o$ is,

$E_o=CB_o$

$=(3×10^8)×(610×10^{-9})$

$=183V/m$
