Solution:

  1. Given,

B=1.6×106cos(2×107z+6×1015t)(2i^+j^)Wbm2

From the given equation, it can be said that the electromagnetic wave is propagating negative z-direction, i.e. k^

Equation of associated electric field will be

E=(|B|c)cos(kz+ωt)n^

where, n^= a vector perpendicular to B.

So, |E|=|B|c

=1.6×106×3×108=4.8×102V/m

Since, we know that for an electromagnetic wave, E and B are mutually perpendicular to each other.

So,

EB=0

From the given options, when n^=i^2j^

EB=(2i^+j^)(i^2j^)=0

Also, when n^=i^+2j^

EB=(2i^+j^)(i^+2j^)=0

But, we also know that the direction of propagation of electromagnetic wave is perpendicular to both E and B, i.e. it is in the direction of E×B.

Again, when n^=i^2j^

E×B=(2i^+j^)×(i^2j^)=k^

and when n^=i^+2j^

E×B=(2i^+j^)×(i^+2j^)=k^

But, it is been given in the question that the direction of propagation of wave is in k^.

Thus, associated electric field will be

E=4.8×102cos(2×107z+6×1015t)(i^2j^)Vm1
