Electromagnetic Waves

  1. The electric field part of an electromagnetic wave in a medium is represented by Ex=0; ​
    = Ey = 2.5
    N
    cos 2π × 106
    rad
    - 1π × 10-2
    rad
    x;
    Cms

    ​Ez = 0. The wave is :​​
    1. moving along x direction with frequency 106 Hz and wave length 100 m.
    2. moving along x direction with frequency 106 Hz and wave length 200 m.
    3. moving along – x direction with frequency 106 Hz and wave length 200 m. ​
    4. moving along y direction with frequency 2π × 106 Hz and wave length 200 m.
Correct Option: B

Comparing with the equation of wave.
Ey = E0  cos (ωt – kx)
​ω = 2 πf = 2π × 106 
∴   f = 106  Hz
2π/λ = K
= π × 10-2 m-1, λ = 200 m
