The electric and the magnetic field,associated with an electromagnetic wave propagating along the $+z$-axis,can be represented by

  • A
    $\vec{E} = E_0 \hat{i}, \vec{B} = B_0 \hat{j}$
  • B
    $\vec{E} = E_0 \hat{k}, \vec{B} = B_0 \hat{i}$
  • C
    $\vec{E} = E_0 \hat{j}, \vec{B} = B_0 \hat{i}$
  • D
    $\vec{E} = E_0 \hat{j}, \vec{B} = B_0 \hat{k}$

If the magnetic field in a plane electromagnetic wave is given by $\overrightarrow{B} = 3 \times 10^{-8} \sin (1.6 \times 10^{3} x + 48 \times 10^{10} t) \hat{j} \; T$,then what will be the expression for the electric field?

The radiation energy emitted per second by a point source is $100 \,W$. If the efficiency of the source is $4 \%$, then the rms value of the electric field at a distance of $2 \,m$ is [use $\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0}=9 \times 10^9$ in $SI$ units].

The amplitude of the electric field in an electromagnetic wave is $60 \ Vm^{-1}$. What is the amplitude of the magnetic field?

$A$ carbon dioxide laser emits a sinusoidal electromagnetic wave that travels in a vacuum in the negative $x-$ direction. The wavelength is $10.6\,\mu m$ and the $\vec E$ field is parallel to the $z-$ axis,with $E_{max} = 1.5 \times 10^6\, V/m$. Then the vector equations for $\vec E$ and $\vec B$ as a function of time and position are:
