QJEEM22Phef9c: JEE Main 2022 Physics - Class 12 JEEM22Phef9c Solution: An EM wave propagating in x-direction has a wavelength of 8 mm. …

An EM wave propagating in x-direction has a wavelength of 8 mm. The electric field vibrating y-direction has maximum magnitude of 60 Vm−1. Choose the correct equations for electric and magnetic fields if the EM wave is propagating in vacuum :

Multiple Choice Options

  • A Ey=60sin⁡[π4×103(x−3×108t)]j^Vm−1 Bz=2sin⁡[π4×103(x−3×108t)]k^T
  • B Ey=60sin⁡[π4×103(x−3×108t)]j^Vm−1 Bz=2×10−7sin⁡[π4×103(x−3×108t)]k^T
  • C Ey=2×10−7sin⁡[π4×103(x−3×108t)]j^Vm−1 Bz=60sin⁡[π4×103(x−3×108t)]k^T
  • D Ey=2×10−7sin⁡[π4×104(x−4×108t)]j^Vm−1 Bz=60sin⁡[π4×104(x−4×108t)]k^T

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

In first 3 options speed of light is 3 × 108 m/sec and in the fourth option it is 4 × 108 m/sec.

Using

E = CB

We can check the option is B.
