Q61 / 90 · JEE Main 2017 (09 Apr Online) · Physics

The electric field component of a monochromatic radiation is given by E→=2E0coskzcosωt i^, Its magnetic field B→ is then given by:

  • Correct answer
    A
    2E0csinkzsinωt j^
  • B
    2E0ccoskzcosωt j^
  • C
    2E0csinkzcosωt j^
  • D
    -2E0csinkzsinωt j^

Solution

dEdz=-dBdt

dEdz=-2E0Ksin⁡kzcos⁡ωt=-dBdt

dB=+2E0Ksin⁡kzcos⁡ωt dt

B= +2E0Ksin⁡kz∫cos⁡ωt dt

=+2E0kωsin⁡kzsin⁡ωt

E0B0=ωk=C

B=2E0Csin⁡kzsin⁡ωt

Propagation of EM radiation, Electric field oscillation and Magnetic field oscillation are perpendicular to each other.

Since propagation of EM radiation is x-axis and electric field oscillation is along z-axis, the Magnetic field oscillation is along y-axis.

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