    Electric field is given by

    E =
    σ
    ε0

    for the system to be immersed in water its dielectric changes form ε0 to 80 ε0 so we get surface charge density as
    σ = ε0εr|E| ⇒ 80ε0 E =
    80 × 10–9
    × 2
    36π

    = 1.41 × 10–9.

    Correct Option: D

  1. A plane wave is characterised by this wave is—

    ^^
    E = (0.5 x +xEjπ/2)ejωt– jk2

    Wave polarization may be found as

    φ = tan–1
    Ey
    = tan–1
    ejπ/2· ejωt – jkz
    Ex0.5 · ejωt – jkz

    = tan–1
    j sin π/2
    = tan–1
    j
    = tan–1(2j)
    0.5.5

    φ = multiple of π/2 so it is circularly polarized.

    Always greater than C since the value of sin θ is always less than 1. So 1/sin θ is always greater than 1 that's why VP > VC.

    Correct Option: C

    Always greater than C since the value of sin θ is always less than 1. So 1/sin θ is always greater than 1 that's why VP > VC.
