Question -

Suppose that the electric fieldamplitude of an electromagnetic wave is E0 = 120 N/C and thatits frequency is ν = 50.0 MHz.(a) Determine, B0ω, k, and λ. (b) Find expressions for E and B.



Answer -

Electric field amplitude, E0 = 120 N/C

Frequencyof source, ν = 50.0 MHz = 50 ×106 Hz

Speed oflight, c = 3 × 10m/s

(a) Magnitude of magneticfield strength is given as:

Angular frequency of source isgiven as:

ω = 2πν

= 2π × 50× 106

= 3.14 ×108 rad/s

Propagationconstant is given as:

Wavelength of wave is given as:

(b) Supposethe wave is propagating in the positive x direction.Then, the electric field vector will be in the positive y direction and the magnetic fieldvector will be in the positive z direction.This is because all three vectors are mutually perpendicular.

Equation of electric field vectoris given as:

And, magnetic field vector isgiven as:
