The magnetic field in a plane electromagnetic wave is given $B_y = 2 × 10^{-7}\sin (0.5 × 10^3x + 1.57 × 10^{11}t) T$. The frequency of the wave is |
23.9 GHz 25.0 MHz 25.0 GHz 23.9 THz |
25.0 GHz |
The correct answer is Option (3) → 25.0 GHz Magnetic field of a plane EM wave: $B_y = 2 \times 10^{-7} \sin(0.5 \times 10^3 x + 1.57 \times 10^{11} t) \, \text{T}$ General form: $B_y = B_0 \sin(kx + \omega t)$ Here, $\omega = 1.57 \times 10^{11} \, \text{rad/s}$ Frequency: $f = \frac{\omega}{2\pi} = \frac{1.57 \times 10^{11}}{2 \pi} \approx 2.5 \times 10^{10} \, \text{Hz}$ Converting to GHz: $f = \frac{2.5 \times 10^{10}}{10^9} = 25 \, \text{GHz}$ Answer: $f \approx 25 \, \text{GHz}$ |
