If $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}$ and $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{K}}$ represent electric field and propagation vectors of the EM waves in vacuum, then magnetic field vector is given by: ( $\omega$ - angular frequency) :

  • Correct answer
    A
    $\frac{1}{\omega}(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{K}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}})$
  • B
    $\omega(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{K}})$
  • C
    $\omega(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{K}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}})$
  • D
    $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{K}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}$

Solution

For an EM wave
$\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}=\frac{1}{\omega}(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{K}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}})$

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