In a plane electromagnetic wave travelling in free space, the electric field component oscillates sinusoidally at a frequency of 2.0 1010 Hz and amplitude 48 V m-1. Then the amplitude of oscillating magnetic field is : (Speed of light in free space = 3 108 m s-1)
- 1.6 10-8 T
- 1.6 10-7 T
- 1.6 10-6 T
- 1.6 10-9 T
Answer
(2) 1.6 10-7 T
Solution
B0 = E0c
= 483 108
= 1.6 10-7 T
(The frequency is not needed.)
Answer: (2)
