The correct Answer is:
To find the amplitude of the associated electric field (E₀) in an electromagnetic wave given the amplitude of the magnetic field (B₀) and the frequency (f), we can use the relationship between the electric field and magnetic field in an electromagnetic wave. The relationship is given by: \[ E_0 = c \cdot B_0 \] where: - \( E_0 \) is the amplitude of the electric field, - \( B_0 \) is the amplitude of the magnetic field, - \( c \) is the speed of light in vacuum, approximately \( 3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values**: - Amplitude of the magnetic field, \( B_0 = 3 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{T} \) - Speed of light, \( c = 3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s} \) 2. **Use the formula to find the electric field amplitude**: \[ E_0 = c \cdot B_0 \] 3. **Substitute the values into the equation**: \[ E_0 = (3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s}) \cdot (3 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{T}) \] 4. **Calculate the product**: \[ E_0 = 3 \times 3 \times 10^8 \times 10^{-10} = 9 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{V/m} \] 5. **Final result**: The amplitude of the associated electric field is: \[ E_0 = 9 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{V/m} \]
