Electromagnetic Theory

  1. The velocity of the plane wave esin2(ωt – βx) is—
    1. β
    2. ω
      2b
    3. ω2
      β2
    4. ω
      β
Correct Option: D

The wave is

esin2(ωt − βx) = esin2β
ω
t − x
t

When the argument is reduced to the form kt – x, the coefficient of t is the velocity of propagation. Hence, the velocity of the wave is ω/β.
