The ratio of amplitude of magnetic field to the amplitude of electric field for an electromagnetic wave propagating in vacuum is equal to:
Options
(a) The speed of light in vacuum
(b) reciprocal of speed of light in vacuum
(c) the ratio of magnetic permeability to the electric susceptibility of vacuum
(d) unity
Correct Answer:
reciprocal of speed of light in vacuum
Explanation:
The average energy stored in the electric field Uᴇ = (1/2) ε₀E²
The average energy stroed in the magnetic field Uв = (1/2) . (B² /μ₀),
According to conservation of energy Ue = Ub
ε₀μ₀ = B² / E²
B / E = √(ε₀μ₀) = 1/C
