Electromagnetic Waves

Question:

The amplitude of the magnetic field part of a harmonic Electromagnetic Wave in vacuum is $B_0 = 510 $ nT. What is the amplitude of the electric field part of the wave?

Options:

140 NC-1

153 NC-1

163 NC-1

133 NC-1

Correct Answer:

153 NC-1

Explanation:

For an EM wave, $\frac{E_0}{B_0}= c \, or \, E_0 = cB_0$

$= 3 × 10^8 ×510 × 10^{-9} NC^{-1}$

$ = 153 NC^{-1}$
