NEET Physics Properties of Electromagnetic Waves MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

The magnetic field of a plane electromagnetic wave is given by: B⃗ = 2×10⁻⁸ sin(0.5×10³x + 1.5×10¹¹t)ĵT. The amplitude of the electric field would be:

A

6 Vm⁻¹ along x-axis

B

3 Vm⁻¹ along z-axis

C

6 Vm⁻¹ along z-axis

D

2 × 10⁸ Vm⁻¹ along z-axis

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The amplitude of the electric field E is related to the magnetic field B by E = cB, where c is the speed of light. Here, E = 3 × 10⁸ m/s × 2 × 10⁻⁸ T = 6 Vm⁻¹.
