Electromagnetic Waves

  1. .In an electromagnetic wave in free space the root mean square value of the electric field is Erms = 6V/m. The peak value of the magnetic field is :-
    1. 2.83 × 10–8 T
    2. 0.70 × 10–8 T
    3. 4.23 × 10–8 T
    4. 1.41 × 10–8 T
Correct Option: A

Given, Erms = 6 V/m

Erms
= c
Brms

⇒ Brms =
Erms
.....(i)
c

Brms =
B0
2

⇒ B02Brms
B0 = √2 ×
Brms
C

From equation (i)
=
2 × 6
= 2.83 × 10-8 T
3 × 108
