A plane electromagnetic wave of frequency 20 MHz travels through a space along x-direction. If the electric field vector at a certain point in space is 6 Vm⁻¹, then what is the magnetic field vector at that point?
Options
(a) 2×10⁻⁸ T
(b) (1/2) x 10⁻⁸ T
(c) 2 T
(d) (1/2) T
Correct Answer:
2×10⁻⁸ T
Explanation:
The magnetic field, B = E / c, where c = 3 × 10⁸ ms⁻¹
B = 6 / 3 × 10⁸ = 2 × 10⁻⁸ T
