Electromagnetic Waves Question 1

Question 1 - 2024 (01 Feb Shift 2)

If frequency of electromagnetic wave is $60 \mathrm{MHz}$ and it travels in air along $\mathrm{z}$ direction then the corresponding electric and magnetic field vectors will be mutually perpendicular to each other and the wavelength of the wave (in $\mathrm{m}$ ) is:

(1) 2.5

(2) 10

(3) 5

(4) 2

Show Answer

Answer: (3)

Solution:

$\lambda=\frac{\mathrm{c}}{\mathrm{f}}=\frac{3 \times 10^{8}}{60 \times 10^{6}}=5 \mathrm{~m}$
