Q71 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (28 Jun Shift 1) · Physics

A radar sends an electromagnetic signal of electric field E0=2.25 V m-1 and magnetic field B0=1.5×10-8 T which strikes a target on line of sight at a distance of 3 km in a medium. After that, a part of signal (echo) reflects back towards the radar with same velocity and by same path. If the signal was transmitted at time t=0 from radar, then after how much time echo will reach to the radar?

  • A
    2.0×10-5 s
  • Correct answer
    B
    4.0×10-5 s
  • C
    1.0×10-5s
  • D
    8.0×10-5s

Solution

The speed of light is given by,

c=E0 B0=2.251.5×10-8=1.5×108 m s-1

Therefore, time taken for the echo will be,

t=2dc=6×1031.5×108=4×10-5 s

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
