Electromagnetic Waves

Question:

The electric field of an electromagnetic wave travelling through vacuum is given by the equation $E = E_0 sin (kx - ωt)$. The quantity that is equal to wavelength is

Options:

$\frac{k}{ω}$

$kω$

ω

k

Correct Answer:

$\frac{k}{ω}$

Explanation:

$E=E_0 sin(kx - ωt)$

Comparing with standard equation we will get Wavelength $=\frac{k}{ω}$
