Q24 / 30 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Physics · Electromagnetic Waves

In a plane electromagnetic wave, the electric field oscillates sinusoidally at a frequency of 2.5×1010 Hz and amplitude 480 V m-1. The amplitude of the oscillating magnetic field will be

  • A
    1.52×10-8 Wb m-2
  • B
    1.52×10-7 Wb m-2
  • Correct answer
    C
    1.6×10-6 Wb m-2
  • D
    1.6×10-7 Wb m-2

Solution

If c is the speed of light or electromagnetic wave then the amplitude of electric and magnetic fields are related as,

B0=E0c

B0=4803×108=1.6×10-6 Wb m-2

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