QJEEM23Phb9f9: JEE Main 2023 Physics - Class 12 JEEM23Phb9f9 Solution: Given below are two statements : Statement I : Electromagnetic…

Given below are two statements :

Statement I : Electromagnetic waves are not deflected by electric and magnetic field.

Statement II : The amplitude of electric field and the magnetic field in electromagnetic waves are related to each other as E0=μ0ε0B0{E_0} = \sqrt {{{{\mu _0}} \over {{\varepsilon _0}}}} {B_0} .

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Multiple Choice Options

  • A Both Statement I and Statement II are true
  • B Statement I is true and Statement II is false
  • C Both Statement I and Statement II are false
  • D Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Statement I is correct as photon do not carry any charge, hence cannot feel force from either fields.

Statement II is wrong as E0=cB0E_0=cB_0

E0=B0μ0ε0{E_0} = {{{B_0}} \over {\sqrt {{\mu _0}{\varepsilon _0}} }}
