The maximum magnetic field in a plane electromagnetic wave is `4muT`. The wave is going in the `x`-direction and magnetic field is in `y`-direction. Find the maximum electric field in the wave and its direction.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`E_(0) = cB_(0) = 3 xx 10^(8) xx 4 xx 10^(-6) = 1200N//C`
`vec(E), vec(B)` and direction of propagation are mutually perpendicualr. `vec(E)` is along `z`-axis.
