Electromagnetic Waves - Result Question 12

12. The electric field part of an electromagnetic wave in a medium is represented by Ex=0;

Ey=2.5NCcos[(2π×106radm)t(π×102rads)x]; Ez=0. The wave is :

[2009]

(a) moving along x direction with frequency 106Hz and wave length 100m.

(b) moving along x direction with frequency 106Hz and wave length 200m. (c) moving along x direction with frequency 106Hz and wave length 200m.

(d) moving along y direction with frequency 2π×106Hz and wave length 200m.

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 12. (b)

Solution:

  1. (b) Comparing with the equation of wave. Ey=E0cos(ωtkx)

ω=2πf=2π×106f=106Hz

2πλ=k=π×102m1,λ=200m
