The magnetic field in a plane electromagnetic wave is given by $B = 3.01 \times 10^{-7} \sin(6.28 \times 10^2 x + 2.2 \times 10^{10} t) \, T$,where $x$ is in $cm$ and $t$ is in seconds. The wavelength of the given wave is ....... $cm$.

The electric field in an electromagnetic wave is given as $\vec{E} = 20 \sin \omega (t - \frac{x}{c}) \hat{j} \text{ N/C}$. Where $\omega$ and $c$ are the angular frequency and velocity of the electromagnetic wave,respectively. The energy contained in a volume of $5 \times 10^{-4} \text{ m}^3$ will be $..... \times 10^{-13} \text{ J}$. (Given $\varepsilon_0 = 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \text{ C}^2/\text{Nm}^2$)

In a plane electromagnetic wave travelling in free space,the electric field component oscillates sinusoidally at a frequency of $2.0 \times 10^{10} \text{ Hz}$ and amplitude $48 \text{ V m}^{-1}$. Then the amplitude of the oscillating magnetic field is: (Speed of light in free space $= 3 \times 10^8 \text{ m s}^{-1}$)

The electric and magnetic fields associated with an electromagnetic wave propagating along the $Z$-axis can be represented by:

The electric field in a plane electromagnetic wave is given by $\overrightarrow{E} = 200 \cos \left[ (0.5 \times 10^{3} \text{ m}^{-1}) x - (1.5 \times 10^{11} \text{ rad/s}) t \right] \hat{j} \text{ V/m}$. If this wave falls normally on a perfectly reflecting surface having an area of $100 \text{ cm}^{2}$,and the radiation pressure exerted by the electromagnetic wave on the surface is $\frac{x}{10^{9}} \text{ N/m}^{2}$,find the value of $x$.
