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 × 10710^{-7}) T sin(0.5 × 10310^3 x + 1.5 × 101110^{11} 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 × 10710^{-7}) T sin(0.5 × 10310^3 x + 1.5 × 101110^{11} t), the wave number k is 0.5 × 10310^3 m1m^{-1}. The wavelength λ is given by λ = 2π/k = 2π/(0.5 × 10310^3) = 12.6 m.
