Electromagnetic Waves Question 5

Question 5 - 29 January - Shift 2

Given below are two statements:

Statement I : Electromagnetic waves are not deflected by electric and magnetic field.

Statement II : The amplitude of electric field and the magnetic field in electromagnetic waves are related to each other as $E_0=\sqrt{\frac{\mu_0}{\varepsilon_0}} B_0$

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

(1) Statement I is true but statement II is false

(2) Both Statement I and Statement II are true

(3) Statement I is false but statement II is true

(4) Both Statement I and Statement II are false

Show Answer

Answer: (1)

Solution:

Formula: Speed of light

Statement-I is correct as EMW are neutral

Statement-II is wrong.

$E_0=\sqrt{\frac{1}{\mu_0 \varepsilon_0}} B_0$
