Answer:
Correct Answer: 3. (a)
Solution:
- (a) Given, $E _{rms}=6 V / m$
$\frac{E _{rms}}{B _{rms}}=c$
$\Rightarrow B _{rms}=\frac{E _{rms}}{c}$
$B _{rms}=\frac{B_0}{\sqrt{2}} \Rightarrow B_0=\sqrt{2} B _{rms}$
$B_0=\sqrt{2} \times \frac{E _{rms}}{c}$ From equation (i)
$=\frac{\sqrt{2} \times 6}{3 \times 10^{8}}=2.83 \times 10^{-8} T$
