Optics Question 311

Question: An electromagnetic wave, going through vacuum is described by $ E=E _{0}\sin (kx-\omega t) $ . Which of the following is independent of wavelength

Options:

A) k

B) w

C) k/w

D) kw

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

The angular wave number $ k=\frac{2\pi }{\lambda }; $ where l is the wave length. The angular frequency is $ w=2\pi \nu . $ The ratio $ \frac{k}{\omega }=\frac{2\pi /\lambda }{2\pi \nu }=\frac{1}{\nu \pi }=\frac{1}{c} $ = constant
