Question
Suppose that the electric field amplitude of an electromagnetic wave is E0 = 120 N/C and that its frequency is v = 50.0 MHz. (a) Determine, B0, ω, k, and λ. (b) Find expressions for E and B.
Solution
Given,
Amplitude of EM waves, Eo = 120 N/C
Frequency of wave, v = 50.0 MHz
(a) Using the relation, we have
which is the required amplitude of magnetic field.
Angular frequency is given by,
Wave vector k is given by,
Wavelength of the EM wave is,
(b) Let the electromagnetic wave travel along +x-axis, and are along y-axis and z-axis respectivelty.
Then,
and,
The above expressions represent electric and magnetic field.
