Modern Physics Ques 271
- If the magnetic field of a plane electromagnetic wave is given by $B=100 \times 10^{-6} \sin [2 \pi \times 2 \times 10^{15} t-\frac{x}{c}]$, then the maximum electric field associated with it is (Take, the speed of light $=3 \times 10^{8} $ $m / s$ )

Answer:
Correct Answer: 271.(c)
Solution:
Formula:
Relation Between The Magnetic Field Vector And The Electric Field Vector:
- Given, instantaneous value of magnetic field
$ B=100 \times 10^{-6} \sin [2 \pi \times 2 \times 10^{15} t-\frac{x}{c}] $
and speed of light, $c=3 \times 10^{8} $ $ms^{-1}$
For an electromagnetic wave,
$ E _{\max }=B _{\max } \times c $
where, $E _{\max }=$ maximum value of the electric field.
We get, $E _{\max }=100 \times 10^{-6} \times 3 \times 10^{8}=3 \times 10^{4} \frac{N}{C}$
