The ratio of amplitude of magnetic field...

The ratio of amplitude of magnetic field to the amplitude of electric field for an electromagnetic wave propagating in vacumm is equal to

A

speed of light in vacuum.

B

recoprocal of speed of light in vacuum

C

the ratio of magnetic permiability to the electric susceptibility of vacuum

D

unity

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b

As `u=1/2in_0E_0^2=(B_0^2)/(2mu_0), in_0mu_0 =(B_0^2)/(E_0^2)`
or `(B_0)/(E_0)=sqrt(in_0mu_0)=1/c` where
