NEET Physics Properties of EM Waves MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Easy-Class 12
What is the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave in free space if the magnetic field component is given by B_y = (2 × ) T sin(0.5 × x + 1.5 × t)?
A
12.6 m
B
6.28 m
C
3.14 m
D
1.57 m
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
From the expression B_y = (2 × ) T sin(0.5 × x + 1.5 × t), the wave number k is 0.5 × . The wavelength λ is given by λ = 2π/k = 2π/(0.5 × ) = 12.6 m.
