Electromagnetic Waves

Question:

In an electromagnetic wave, the amplitude of magnetic field is $1.1 \times 10^{-6} T$. What is the amplitude of electric field?

Options:

$3.70 N C^{-1}$

$37 N C^{-1}$

$330 N C^{-1}$

$3.30 N C^{-1}$

Correct Answer:

$330 N C^{-1}$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → $330 N C^{-1}$

$E_0=C.B_0$ [for EM wave]

where,

$E_0$ = Amplitude of electric field

$B_0$ = Amplitude of magnetic field = $1.1×10^{-6}T$

$∴E_0=3×10^8×1.1×10^{-6}$

$=3.3×10^2V/m$
