In a plane electromagnetic wave, the electric field varies as $E_z = 90\sin(500x + 20 × 10^{10}t) V/m$. The expression of its magnetic field variation is: |
$27 × 10^{-7} \sin(500x + 20 × 10^{10}t) T$ $3.3 × 10^{6} \sin(500x + 20 × 10^{10}t) T$ $27 × 10^{8} \sin(500x + 20 × 10^{10}t) T$ $3 × 10^{-7} \sin(500x + 20 × 10^{10}t) T$ |
$3 × 10^{-7} \sin(500x + 20 × 10^{10}t) T$ |
The correct answer is Option (4) → $3 × 10^{-7} \sin(500x + 20 × 10^{10}t) T$ Given electric field: $E_z = 90 \sin(500x + 2.0 \times 10^{11}t)$ V/m Relation between $E$ and $B$ in an electromagnetic wave: $\frac{E}{B} = c$ $\Rightarrow B = \frac{E}{c}$ Maximum electric field: $E_0 = 90$ V/m So, maximum magnetic field: $B_0 = \frac{90}{3 \times 10^8} = 3 \times 10^{-7}$ T Since $E$ is along z-axis and wave is propagating along negative x-axis (from argument $500x + \omega t$), the magnetic field will be along y-axis. Thus, the magnetic field expression is: $B_y = 3 \times 10^{-7} \sin(500x + 2.0 \times 10^{11}t)$ T |
